Hi  
When I require fox16 i get lots of warnings like

/usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/fox16.so: warning: already  
initialized constant ID\_SHOW\_FILES  
/usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/fox16.so: warning: already  
initialized constant ID\_HIDE\_FILES

initialized constant ID\_SORT\_CASE  
/usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/fox16.so: warning: already  
initialized constant ID\_REFRESH

I have ruby 1.8.5 and fxruby 1.6.11, but i also try 1.6.6. at the net I  
found that this problem exists,but I can’t find way to resolve it.

Can you update ruby to 1.8.6? IIRC that makes the warnings go away.
