Don't compile Ruby. There's some system to add tk support when you
compile; don't bother. Just install Ruby and a matching RubyTk library
from your distro.

On my Ubuntu, I search up the correct package like this:

  apt-cache search ruby | grep -i tk

then install it like this:

  sudo apt-get install libtk-ruby

Uninstall whatever you did, first, then use your platform's package
manager to install a complete set of integrated packages.
