The installation process was ruby1.9.1 && tcl8.5 && tk8.5 && 
libtcltk-ruby1.9.1 one after the other, but when I require 'tk' in irb, 
same error messages come up.

But, when I removed all those ruby1.9.1 packages and installed 
ruby1.8-full (which includes libtcltk-ruby1.8), it works!

This is what irb shows when I have tcl8.5, rk8.5 with ruby1.8-full :

require 'tk'
=> true
Tk::TK_PATCHLEVEL
=> "8.5.11"

But the same installation with ruby1.9.1 instead shows me the errors in 
OP instead when I require 'tk'... and that is the problem.

BTW, is it possible to GUI program in ruby1.9.1 using tk8.5 on ubuntu? 
If someone did it, please tell me. Even though it works in ruby1.8.7, I 
want to shift to ruby1.9.1.

BTW, when I installed ruby1.9.1 it shows us ruby --version 1.9.3p0 
because, I think ruby1.9.1 packages in ubuntu ship with latest ruby 
interpreter that is 1.9.3 as given here: 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby1.9.1/1.9.3.0-1

(I was initially confused when I saw this... correct me if I am wrong 
somewhere.)
