Subject: [ruby-talk:24746] Ruby can't find gtk libs

I've spent an hour or more checking numerous docs and the FAQ with no luck
getting an answer.

   In my test code, I have:
   
       require 'gtk'
   
   Yet, ruby can't find the libs.  Gtk is installed, and my 'C' compiler has no
   trouble finding and using the libs.

   [mjbjr@localhost ruby_work]$ ./helloworld_01.rb
   =2E/helloworld_01.rb:8:in `require': No such file to load -- /usr/lib/gtk
   +(LoadError)
           from ./helloworld_01.rb:8


   The libs: libgtk, libgdk are in /usr/lib

   I tried:  require '/usr/lib/gtk', and variations including specifying the
   path and libname, but the results were the same.
   
   The result above was with:   require 'gtk'

   How do you get your ruby apps to find your libs?

   Thank you.
