Subject: Compiling tcltklibl on FreeBSD?

I have been trying all day to get ruby to compile tcltklib on FreeBSD 
4.2 with no success.  Tk and Tcl 8.2 and 8.3 are installed.  I have 
tried with Ruby 1.6.5 and with the latest source from cvs.  I have tried 
using the following configure parameters with no success.

./configure --with-tk-dir=/usr/local/include/tk8.3 
--with-tcl-dir=/usr/local/include/tcl8.3 
--with-tk-include=/usr/local/include/tk8.3 
--with-tcl-include=/usr/local/include/tcl8.3

Ruby compiles okay but it always ignores tcltklib.  Running ruby 
extconf.rb from within the ext/tcltklib directory produces:

checking for t_open() in -lnsl... no
checking for socket() in -lsocket... no
checking for dlopen() in -ldl... no
checking for log() in -lm... yes
checking for tcl.h... no

I have managed to get a yes for checking for tcl.h but that was followed 
by a no on tk.h.  Anyone have any success with Ruby/Tk on FreeBSD?  Any 
pointers that will help me get this working?  Any help is greatly 
appreciated.
