Subject: Re: ruby tk -- how do you get it working?

mmm, that thread is soo long... and doesn't seem to solve the firs 
issue... does it?
anyway...

For me, it started to work when I did the following:

> ruby extconf.rb
> 
> If that seems to work, continue with make and make install.

it gave me an error message saying to recompile with --enable-pthread 
option.  which I did... solved my ruby tk trouble.

so, what you need to de is :

   * get ruby source
   * ./configure --enable-pthread
   * make
   * make test
   * sudo make install
