To use tk with ruby you will probably have to compile ruby yourself. It's 
not that hard. You can even use ruby-build tool and my tk extension (which 
I keep trying to get them to include!!!).

See https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build<https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build/issues/131>
 and https://github.com/trans/ruby-build-tk
