So what I should do to use Fox and RMagick? (And other ‘so’ libraries in
future I think)

The loader can’t find the libraries that these extensions depend on;
e.g. “fox.so” depends on libFOX.so, which apparently isn’t in the search
path. See the information under “Cannot load library” on this page:

 http://www.fxruby.org/doc/build.html

Hope this helps,
