I'm on the Windows side (XP and Windows 7).  When I installed Ruby 1.9 
the Tk Libraries were no longer bundled with the Windows installer 
(there is a whole long, prior thread on this issue elsewhere in this 
forum, at http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/204364#new).  I was able to 
install the 'tk_as_gem' gem and get my Tk programs working again (this 
was more difficult on my 64-bit Windows 7 OS), but when I run them they 
load painfully slow, tile-by-tile.  They work fine once loaded, but they 
always load slowly.  So I decided to leanr FXRuby and rewrite them all 
in FXRuby instead (not that FXRuby is perfect mind you).
