Thanks, did exactly that, but when I run the AntFarm.rb of Dave Thomas, I got the following

error message:

/users/dnguyen/lib/ruby/1.6/tk.rb:7:in `require': No such file to load -- tcltklib (LoadError)
        from /users/dnguyen/lib/ruby/1.6/tk.rb:7
        from antfarm.rb:2:in `require'
        from antfarm.rb:2

Even though /users/dnguyen/lib/ruby/1.6/tk.rb does exist.

What's still wrong?
