I should put this somewhere in my tutorial...

  ./configure  --prefix=/usr --with-tcl-include=/usr/include/tcl8.2/ \
     --with-tk-include=/usr/include/tcl8.2/ '--mandir=${prefix}/share/man' \
     '--infodir=${prefix}/share/info'

is what I run to compile Ruby plus Tk on my debian system. YMMV.
Ruby does not check all possible paths for Tk, but you can tell it.
There is alo an option for tcl/tk libraries that get linked.

Bye,
Kero.
