Hidetoshi,
 
As you suggested, I added:
 
Tk::AUTO_PATH.list <<= "C:Tcl/lib"

 
into:
 
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\tkextlib\setup.rb
 
and I was able to run BWidget demo with the latest ActiveState ActiveTcl 8.4.9.1.139183. However for iwidgets that I also use, I got the following error:
 
>ruby canvasprintdialog.rb
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/tk/package.rb:86:in `require': TkPackage version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.3, need 8.4 (RuntimeError)

 from canvasprintdialog.rb:3

I will check ruby-talk 120774   more closely to see if it offers solution to my problem. 
 
Thank you very much for your help.
 
Regards,
 
Goran

I don't know whether tcltklib included 1.8.2-15 supports libraries 
of Tcl/Tk8.4 or not. Please check Tk::TK_VERSION value.
If the value is "8.3" and 1.8.2-15 doesn't support Tcl/Tk8.4, 
please read [ruby-talk:120774]. 
If 1.8.2-15 supports Tcl/Tk8.4 and Ruby/Tk cannot find the 
libarary path as you say, please entry the library path to 
Tk::AUTO_PATH. 
Probably, one of the easiest way is to add the following line 
to the file "/tkextlib/setup.rb".
------------------------------------------------------
Tk::AUTO_PATH.list <<= "/lib"
------------------------------------------------------
If you have the trouble on the specific Tk extension, please add 
a similar line to "/tkextlib//setup.rb".
