ruby tk needs some X11 headers, if you haven't installed Xfree86
you need to install at least the tk-headers, get it here:
http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/X11.zip
put the package in the root dir '/' and type:
$ unzip X11.zip
Archive:  X11.zip
   creating: X11/
  inflating: usr/include/X11/Xutil.h
  inflating: usr/include/X11/keysym.h
  inflating: usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h
  inflating: usr/include/X11/simx.h
  inflating: usr/include/X11/X.h
  inflating: usr/include/X11/Xatom.h
  inflating: usr/include/X11/Xfuncproto.h
  inflating: usr/include/X11/Xlib.h
  inflating: usr/include/X11/xpm.h
  inflating: usr/include/X11/cursorfont.h

If you have X installed, make a symlink: 
$ ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/X11 /usr/include/X11

That is because of this part in tk.h:
=====================================
[...]
#ifndef _XLIB_H
#   ifdef MAC_TCL
#	include <Xlib.h>
#	include <X.h>
#   else
#	include <X11/Xlib.h>
#   endif
#endif
[...]

This all i have only tested on cygwin.
