Fox, FXRuby, fxscintilla and FreeRide - again

I got some rpms from the FreeRide file repository. There are rpms for
FOX FXRuby, fxscintilla and FreeRide. They all installed without trouble,
but FreeRide doesn’t work. I just get a list of things that failed
(output below).

Is there any chance that FreeRide might be ported to one of the more
standard GUIs? Fox is not very useful if people can’t get it installed.
If FreeRide used Gtk or QT you could still include, for the Windows users,
an automatic installer.

I just don’t think that we want to make the Ruby IDE so inaccessible to
the Unix/Linux users.

Here is the output:

And it just hangs at this point.

What steps have you taken to confirm that your FOX, FXRuby and
FXScintilla installations worked properly? For example, did you try to
run any of the FXRuby example programs?

Now, this might seem crazy, but you might get everything to work by
using alien on my Debian packages and installing them… No guarantees
however.

Is it too obvious that I’m desperately looking for feedback on my packages? :wink:

No, that’s wrong too. Now there’s a race condition between the rm and
the mv. Hmm, I need more coffee.
