Subject: Re: Mac OS X Tiger comes with Tk?

This thread got me looking into my (rather new) macbooks ruby installation.

I installed ruby using macports right after getting the machine.  I
don't even have tk.rb to require.

Looking around at macports, it seems that there are TWO port variants
for the ruby port related to tk
one is called just tk, the other mactk.

I'm not sure but I suspect that the tk variant requires X11, and that
the mactk variant doesn't.

I'm still very much an OSX newbie, my last Mac was a ppc which
couldn't run anything past OS 8.something, and I've been using Linux
for some time.  I'm not clear yet on what's the best way to try to
rebuild ruby using port to add the mactk variant. Do I need to
uninstall and reinstall or is there a better way?
