Subject: Tk on Snow Leopard

Sorry about posting an OS specific question here, but the Apple
support discussion groups seem to think this is a problem with Tk
bindings in Ruby, not with Snow Leopard.  Makes no sense to me, but
whatever.

I've used Tk as my go-to GUI for Ruby for years, and love it.  In
Leopard (10.5) Tk bindings worked, in Snow Leopard (10.6) I get this
error if I try to run a script with "require tk"

LoadError: no such file to load — tk

Does anyone know a good workaround?  Has anyone had success getting tk
bindings to work in 10.6, e.g. with MacPorts?  I haven't tried that
approach--I wanted to find out others experience before I went through
that.

Frankly, I wish that I could replace MacOS with Linux on this hardware
(I mean replace, not run a vm) but I digress.

TIA,
Craig
