The basic library of Tcl/Tk interface on Ruby is 'tcltklib'.
Please read 'ext/tk/README.tcltklib' on the source tree.
Tk library is required to compile 'tcltklib'.
if you succed to make 'tcltklib', you will succeed "require 'tk'".
                                                             ^^
'tk' is a higher order library of Tcl/Tk interface.

If you want to use Tcl interpreters without Tk, 
you have to use 'tcltklib' directly.
For example,
-------------------------------------------------------
require 'tcltklib'
ip = TclTkIp.new('', false)
ip._invoke('info', 'commands')
#    or
# ip._eval('info commands')
ip.mainloop(false) # if you need
-------------------------------------------------------
Please see 'ext/tk/MANUAL_tcltklib.eng' also.
