Ah, sorry.
---------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/local/bin/ruby -r tcltklib -e 'p TclTkLib::RELEASE_DATE'
/usr/local/bin/ruby -r tkutil -e 'p TkUtil::RELEASE_DATE'

Maybe. Was the fresh copy extracted to a new clean directory?
Your '/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk/event.rb' is derived from 1.8.3 or 
1.8.4-preview1, and your '/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.3.0/
tkutil.bundle' is derived from 1.8.2.
Please rename '/usr/local/lib/ruby' to '/usr/local/lib/ruby.old', 
and try to re-install Ruby from a new clean directory.
