somen people say ruby1.9 don't surpport wxruby,so i change into ruby
1.8
there is problem too:
pt@pt-laptop:~$ sudo find / -name 'fox16'
[sudo] password for pt:
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.20-x86-linux/ext/fox16
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.20-x86-linux/lib/fox16
/var/lib/gems/1.8/doc/fxruby-1.6.20-x86-linux/rdoc/files/lib/fox16
pt@pt-laptop:~$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'fox16'
LoadError: no such file to load -- fox16
from (irb):1:in `require'
from (irb):1
from :0
irb(main):002:0>

you can see fox16 is installed on my system,but i can't require
it,why?

Resurrecting this thread because I faced the same issue - the solution
is simply to go to fxruby's rubyforge download page:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=3D300&release_id=3D41247

And download fxruby-1.6.20-gem (the one labelled "any" rather than
"linux"). Manually downloading and installing this will recompile the
extension from source against ruby 1.9, rather than using the
fxruby-linux gem which is presumably compiled against ruby 1.8.
