You need to install Tk (Arcadia is a Ruby language which uses
Tk, and Ruby does not come with the Tk runtime bundled). Unfortunately,
this
information is stated only vaguely on the Arcadia website
("...written in Ruby using the classic tcl/tk GUI toolkit").

See http://ruby.about.com/od/desktop/p/ruby_tk.htm (in the section
"Installation/
Setup") on how to get the Tk runtime. This makes sense anyway, even if
you in
the end don't plan to use Arcadia, in case you want to write your own
GUI applications
using Ruby and Tk.
