In my Windows, with ruby one click installer, I can do this:

require ‘fox16’

But in Ubuntu 7.04, I can not do that.  
irb(main):001:0\> require ‘rubygems’  
=\> true  
irb(main):002:0\> require ‘fox16’  
LoadError: no such file to load – fox16  
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in  
`gem_original_require' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in`require’  
from (irb):2

But first here’s what I do to install fxruby.  
$ sudo apt-get install libfox-1.6-dev  
$ sudo gem install fxruby

But I can do this:  
irb(main):004:0\> require ‘fox16/version’  
=\> true

Any idea?
