Hi,

I installed this version of Ruby. When I invoke either fxri or FreeRide  
I get a lot of warnings on the command prompt which is openend during  
the start of one of these programs.

One example:  
C:/Program  
Files/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.2.6-mswin32/ext/fox12/fox12.so:  
warning:  
already initialized constant ID\_MOVE\_DOWN  
Other messages are similar.

Is this a normal behavior and can these messages be ignored, or is  
something wrong with my installation?

Thanks  
N.F.

This was discussed before, IIRC fox extension is loaded twice and the  
warnings can be safely ignored. For more details see archives (look  
for freeride, fox or scintilla)

This is a known bug in Ruby 1.8.5, described here:

```

```

Hope this helps,
