I've read everything in this thread. You mean the one that says; "If you're interested in a 1.8.x that works with tk, see http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/" I don't really want to use 1.8.x, that stupid tutorial told me to. Of course I'd like to use the latest and greatest which is probably 1.9.x. > or about a zip file that contains tk? You mean this one you made? http://faithpromotingrumors.org/incoming/ruby-1.9.1-p429-i386-mingw32.7z I'm installing 7 zip now to try it. I didn't want to use 1.9.x because that tutorial told me to specifically compile the 1.8.x source but since that tutorial was a total disaster I'm looking at using your 1.9.x and that new tutorial below. The tutorial is nice but doesn't say how to install ruby. Just about programming in the language. I need to get it installed first and that is the hard part. You can compile from source or use a "one click install" on windows. I'd rather compile from source but can't get it to work. I also have a FreeBSD Unix machine that I can use too but don't see any other tutorials about how to install ruby/tk on that. I have no idea how to do it on Unix so I'm trying on windows first. Actually, I did install ruby and Tcl/tk on my Unix box but getting the same error. I need to know where to put the libraries and how to get it to work. > > Re: learning it: > http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ruby_Programming/GUI_Toolkit_Modules/Tk > may be of some use to you. > GL! > -r -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
