No need to apologize. I appreciate you took the time to answer.

I've tried the patch you provided, and this is what I got in the console:

compiling syslog
compiling tk
check functions.........
check struct members..
Use ActiveTcl libraries (if available).
Search tclConfig.sh and tkConfig.sh.........
Fail to find [tclConfig.sh, tkConfig.sh]
c:/Users/Luis/Projects/oss/ruby/ext/tk/extconf.rb:1651:in `merge!':
can't convert nil into Hash (TypeError)

Some additional information:

1) tcl and tk were build statically (configure --enable-static --disable-shared)

2) sandbox/tcl contains:

bin: tclsh85s.exe
lib: libtcl85s.a, libtclstub85s.a, tclConfig.sh (along some tcl8.5 directories)

3) sandbox/tk contains:

bin: wish85s.exe
lib: libtk85s.a, libtkstub85s.a, tkConfig.sh

Please note the following:

tcl and tk are compiled and installed in different folders, as tk
requires tcl, first I compile and 'activate it' for the build process
work.

All this is automated with RubyInstaller recipes under the tcl-tk branch:

https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/tree/tcl-tk

This can be easily tested and hacked, using a Ruby 1.8.7 interpreter
as baseruby:

git clone git://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller.git
cd rubyinstaller
git checkout tcl-tk
rake ruby19

(That will build using latest 1.9.2-p136 codebase)
If you want to build against a SVN checkout or git workcopy, you can
use LOCAL and the PATH:

rake ruby19 LOCAL=C:\Path\To\Ruby

Thank you for your time looking into this issue.
