Hi all.

I am new to FxRuby, and trying to install the toolkit.

I'm running winXP

My problem is: require 'fox16' fails with a OS error message complaining
"Can not start application because msvcrt-ruby18.dll is not found". After closing the error window the console reads:

>ruby test.rb
test.rb:2:in `require': 126: A megadott modul nem talalhato(which means module not found).   - d:/Ruby/Vm/1.9.1-p0/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/fxruby-1.6
.19-x86-mswin32-60/ext/fox16/fox16.so (LoadError)
       from test.rb:2:in `<main>'

fox16.so is right where it is looked for, but it is linking to msvcrt-ruby18.dll.
Of course the 1.8 dll is not present. What may cause this? I remember to have read FxRuby is Ruby 1.9 compatible for a while.

The FXRuby source code is compatible with Ruby 1.9; it can be compiled for use with Ruby 1.9.

The FXRuby binary gem for Windows is built for use with the One-Click Installer for Ruby (on Windows), which is based on Ruby 1.8.6. If you need a version of FXRuby that works with your Ruby 1.9 on Windows, you'll need to compile it yourself (or get someone else to).

The very same gem works just fine on Ruby 1.8.7-p72.

Yes, this is not too surprising, since there were few ABI changes between Ruby 1.8.6 and Ruby 1.8.7.
