Subject: Re: step by step tutorial on using emacs with Ruby

When I download ruby 1.8.3, I get a bunch of files. There it is easy to
find the ext directory, and the tcltklib directory. And in it a readme
file which has information on how to configure ruby giving information
about the path.

the end of the text gives an example
If you forgot to give the options when do 'configure' on toplevel
directry of Ruby sources, please try something like as the followings.

 $ cd ext/tcltklib
 $ rm Makefile
 $ CONFIGURE_ARGS='--with-tcl-include=/usr/local/include/tcl8.4/
--with-tcllib=tcl8.4 --with-tklib=tk8.4' ruby extconf.rb

I tried the following
cd ~/desktop/ruby-*
cd ext
cd cd tcltklib
rm Makefile
and ran
CONFIGURE_ARGS='--with-tcl-include=/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tkextlib/
--with-tcllib=tcllib ruby extconf.rb
but it did not do anything.
Do I need to run make and sudo make install etc?

I could not find a tklib in tkextlib in 1.8
and I am not sure what the directory, libraries, etc are to tell config
at configuration -- if I tried to reinstall Ruby.

I think I am on the right track, but don't know how to proceed
