Of course, if you can, it is the best way to install Tcl/Tk (and Ruby) on your environment. I never think to change current standard relation between Ruby and Tcl/Tk libraries. I think that most of troubles on installation of a binary distribution depend on: (1) install wrong version (not supported by tcltklib.so) of Tcl/Tk. (2) "Path" environment variable doesn't include the folder of Tcl/Tk libraries. Tcl/Tk stubs are usually effective. But sometimes, it generates errors by uncertain reason. # On a linux box, I get such errors. # tcltklib.so with stubs made for Tcl/Tk8.4 doesn't work for Tcl/Tk8.5, # but works for Tcl/Tk8.6. # And os the same box, the one made for Tcl/Tk8.5 doesn't work for 8.6. If can, it is better to distribute 3 version (for Tcl/Tk8.4, 8.5, and 8.6) of tcltklib.so. -- Hidetoshi NAGAI (nagai@ai.kyutech.ac.jp)
