Slightly off-topic, but do you even need libtiff support for FreeRIDE? I
figured they were only using PNG icons. But I digress.

You didn't specifically say if the FXRuby example programs worked. Did they?
In particular, does the scintilla-test.rb example program run? If these
don't work, then FreeRIDE definitely isn't going to work.

P.S. I couldn't tell if you cross-posted this to both the foxgui-users and
freeride-users mailing lists, but it is probably a little off-topic for the
foxgui-users list. If we do narrow it down to a FOX-specific problem, of
course, this is a good place to hash it out.
