Subject: Re: how to install/use ruby and tk on winxp?

hello,

I used the one click installer to install Ruby.
then I try to run a test using this code:
require 'tk'
root = TkRoot.new { title "Ex1" }TkLabel.new(root) {
  text  'Hello, World!'
  pack  { padx 15 ; pady 15; side 'left' }
}
Tk.mainloop

however a popup tells me that:
"This application has failed to start because tk84.dll was not found.
re-installing the application may fix this problem."
So should i reinstall ruby again?
And here is the cmd line error screen.
C:\ruby_prog>ruby gui.rb
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32/tcltklib.so: 126: The specified
module could not be found.   -
