Please check the followings.

(1) Is there `tcltklib.so' on `/opt/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/' ?
    ( `1.8' and 'i686-linux' depend on your binary. )
    If not, probably, you failed to compile it.
    Please read `<ruby-source>/ext/tk/README.tcltklib'.

(2) Did you execute the right binary?
    Please check RUBY_VERSION and RUBY_RELEASE_DATE on the running irb.
    Do those values denote your new ruby binary?
    If not, please try "/opt/ruby/bin/ruby -v /opt/ruby/bin/irb".
