>Description:
I'm trying to get FXRuby (x11/ruby-fox) to work. However, when trying to load the fox extension, ruby fails because it can't find libX11.so.6 (which resides in /usr/X11R6/lib). when I "ldd" the fox.so extension object created by ruby-fox, I found out -lX11.6 and -lXext.6 were referenced twice each. See below. But setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/X11R6/lib solves everything.

The problem is definitely with ruby-fox b/c C++ fox applications work fine, and ruby itself seems to be working well.
>How-To-Repeat:

% cd /usr/pkg/share/examples/ruby18/fox 
% ruby hello.rb

# the last two lines are weird....
>Fix:
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/X11R6/lib, not really a fix..
