Right you are.

I do have the 8.4a version.

Here is what's weird from a fresh build:

[dslstat473:~] chrisg% tar xzf ruby-1.6.7.tar.gz
[dslstat473:~] chrisg% cd ruby-1.6.7/
[dslstat473:~/ruby-1.6.7] chrisg% ./configure --enable-shared
--mandir='/usr/local/share/man'

...

So you see why Jack asked the question originally. Apparently the build
process says:
compiling tcltklib
And
installing tcltklib
Whether or not the process succeeds. We are supposed to take the absence of
any further messages as evidence that it failed, just as we can assume that
Win32API was neither compiled nor installed.

So now the question is why does the compile of tcltklib fail. My first
though was "because it couldn't find the headers". But apparently the
compile of tk succeeds and the headers are in the same place.

Oh well. I'll hack on this for awhile and get back to you. In the mean time,
thanks for the help. Bob's  remark that Tcl is there by default is a good
clue.
