Greetings

On Windows XP I’m a happy user of the Fox toolkit through Lyle J.s  
excellent fxruby library.

Now I’m trying to port some applications to linux(ubuntu 6.06, ruby  
1.8.4 installed from ubuntu package), but face trouble with the fxruby  
gem.

I compiled and installed the latest stable fox-toolkit (1.6.16) from  
source. All fine.

I install the latest gem:

```
 sudo gem install fxruby

```

All fine.

I try to run hello.rb, but it fails on require ‘fox1.6’

```
irb(main):001:0> require 'fox1.6'
LoadError: no such file to load -- fox1.6
        from (irb):1:in `require'
        from (irb):1

```

Instead, I am able to use require\_gem

```
irb(main):002:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true

irb(main):003:0> require_gem 'fxruby'
=> true

```

Unfortunately I’m not able to include the Fox module

```
irb(main):004:0> include Fox
NameError: uninitialized constant Fox
        from (irb):4

```

Questions:  
i) On WinXP I use: require ‘fox1.6’, shall I really use  
require\_gem ‘fxruby’ on linux(ubuntu)

ii) How can the include Fox problem be mended?

All the best

Maybe that was a typo, but it should be

require ‘fox16’

Does it still fail?

Does it really work on windows with

require ‘fox1.6’

?

As Joel noted in his reply, this should be ‘fox16’ and not ‘fox1.6’.  
But you’re also going to have trouble installing FXRuby from a source  
gem using the current release of RubyGems, due to a bug in the  
RubyGems installer; see:

```
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=4948&group_id=126&atid=575

```

For that reason, I’d recommend installing FXRuby using the regular  
source tarball.

Thanks for your reply, but alas, it’s my silly typo in the email.

> Does it still fail?

yes, require ‘fox16’ fails

> Does it really work on windows with

no, but require ‘fox16’ works.
