My workaround:
http://gems.rubyforge.org/ contains a link to the gems themselves, and
you can simply download them from there.
‘gem install /download/location/thegem-1.1.1.gem’ will install them.
Please see note [1] below.
You might have to fetch the dependencies yourself, though.
And how would I know what those are?

[1] I’m feeling rather defeated here. Four attempts - same result in all
cases. I’m trying everything I can think of, to no avail. I’m running on
Kubuntu Linux 7.10 (most current version). Sorry for the length of this
- didn’t want to leave out anything important:

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of

COMMENT: “Fox header files” - Sorry, but I’m not a C programmer, or
whatever. “header files” means almost nothing to me, and I don’t know
how to respond to this. The “Check the mkmf.log file for more details”
reference is obscure - where IS that file? I looked several places for
it, and have yet to find it.
Any an all help offered will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
