On a FreeBSD 8.0 machine I went to \usr\ports\lang\tcl85 and as root 
ran; make install clean. This installed tcl 8.5. On command line if I 
run; tclsh85 I get tcl prompt. Then if i type; info patchlevel it shows; 
8.5.8.

Now I go to usr\ports\lang\ruby18 and run; make install clean. This 
installs ruby 1.8. If I type; ruby -v at the command line I get:

ruby 1.8.7 (2009-12-24 patchlevel 248) [amd64-freebsd8]

If I start irb and type; require 'tk' I get the error:
LoadError: no such file to load -- tk

Everything is in default locations. Ruby and tcl executables are in 
\usr\local\bin. I don't know where the installer put anything else.
