Johann reported a problem with FRED a few weeks ago. Riccardo thought this was fixed some time ago with Navid's help. Perhaps we know more today? Here is Johann's original email:
I logged on rhel4-32.slac.stanford.edu, following Navid's advice, in order to test the behavior of FRED on such a system. Launching Gleam fails to open FRED, with the following error :

I have the exact same error on my FC7 box, and it seems to be known on the web.... I tried to rebuild FOX and FXRuby 1.2.X but the only available packages I found are FOX 1.2.18 and FXRuby 1.2.6, and theydont seem to be compatible, as compilation failed.
Then I tried to build recent versions of both packages, but then it is FRED itself which seems to have a problem : I can launch the guistandalone, but as soon as I try to read an ior file, I get ############################################################ FRED version v0r100 "Calvin"## Mon Jun 19 09:44:22 W.

so right now, I am stuck..... wonder if anybody else has experienced all this!
