I should probably fix this since I unmasked the new fox stuff.

instead of opening a new bug for the same issue, here is a similar fix for fox 1.4.x (also obtained from debian)

my bad... I just realized i forgot to run dos2unix on either of those files after re-downloading them from here and trying to use them. ^^;

1. Is this the same bug as 145083??
2. I think I have  the latest fox ebuilds already ... 1.0.53 and 1.2.18. Is this going to mean another fox update??

[Comment 6 M. Edward Borasky 2006-09-03 17:33:56 UTC]

"gem install fxruby" will give the same error if you ask it to install fxruby 1.2.6. I haven't tried the newer ones, but I'm guessing they break too. Strangely enough, "gem" finishes the install and claims a successful install!

I filed a bug on RubyForge against the "gem install fxruby" -- I don't think a compile error should be ignored like that.

In fact it's dupe of 145083, though here we have some progress...

As it's mentioned in trail of bug submitted by Ed
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=5615&group_id=300&atid=1223
fxruby-1.2 is not developed anymore, is there any real problem in running forward fxruby-1.6? Or it's just lack of maintainer/time? 
I'm really new around dev-ruby but it seems that most people need fxruby to build freeride (only freeride and net-irc/xdcc-fetch) depend on fxruby. Won't freeride work with latest fxruby?

Nope, it currently only works with fox 1.2 series.

Fixed in CVS in fox-1.4.34-r1 and fox-1.2.18-r1, thanks!
