FXRuby should be compatible (which is to say, compileable-against) any
release of Ruby 1.8 or 1.9. I'm running Ruby 1.8.6-p368, but Ruby
1.8.7-p0 should *probably* work too.

So what are the contents of this file:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.19/ext/fox16/gem_make.out

or is it empty?

OK, but I'll need some information other than "it doesn't build" to
figure out what's going on. The gem_make.out file should tell us that.

No.

OK, if that doesn't work either, please send me the gem_make.out file
from your failed gem installation.
