Depends on which distro. You will probably have to first install
(using your system package manager) tcl, tk itself, tk development
libraries, Ruby development libraries, and ruby-tk bindings.
(Everybody loves some dependency hell.)

There is also this: http://rubygems.org/gems/tk_as_gem but I have
never tried it. Might work for you.
