Done.  Partially successful as you can see.  Thanks for taking the trouble.

#gem install -l ./fxruby-1.6.18.gem
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

#locate fox16.so | grep "1.6.18"

/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.18/ext/fox16/fox16.so

I tried an fxruby program but I see that the system is littered with 
older versions of fxruby
so I hope that it is picking up the latest library; it runs anyway.

All the best for 2009
