Subject: Ruby Tk on Tiger

I'm running ruby 1.8.5 (2006-09-10) [powerpc-darwin8.7.0] and when I  
try they little simple Tk application on the first page of the Ruby  
Tk chapter of the Pickaxe Book I get:
~ $ ruby -w TK.rb
./tk.rb:7: uninitialized constant TkRoot (NameError)
         from TK.rb:6:in `require'
         from TK.rb:6

However if I run the pre-installed ruby that came with Tiger like:
~ $ /usr/bin/ruby -w TK.rb

I get a nice little window with "Hello World!" in it as well as ruby,  
File and Edit menus. The archives seem to have quite a bit of  
discussion of this issue but I couldn't find any resolution. Did  
anyone figure out how Apple got Tk working?
