Like the first post says;

I'm trying to install Ruby on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine following this
guide;

http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html#installwin


I installed ActiveState ActiveTCL which includes tk. I can run wish85 
successfully. Tcl/tk is installed.

Like the first post says, after setting environment variables and 
compiling according to the instructions it doesn't work. And by that I 
mean that when I run require 'tk' from the irb it gives the error 
message;

LoadError: no such file to load -- tk
