Subject: Trouble attempting to run tk under windows

More Info:

The tk83.dll is not on my system. I searched the entire drive
unsuccessfully.

Hello Team,
I am trying to use tk for the first time by running the following simple
example found in "The Ruby Way":

require 'tk'
root = TkRoot.new { title "Ex1" }
TkLabel.new(root) {
      text 'Hello, World!'
      pack { padx 15 ; pady 15; side 'left' }
}
Tk.mainloop

I get the following errors:

C:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/tk.rb:7:in 'require': 126: The specified module could
not be found.   - C:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/i586-mswin32/tcltklib.so (LoadError)
              from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/tk.rb:7
              from tk01.rb:1:in 'required'
              from tk01.rb:1

And:


"The dynamic link library tk83.dll could not be found in the specified path
........"

My understanding was that for the windows version of ruby, tk was part of
the main install. But it looks like I am missing a dll.
Any help will be appreciated.

ruby version 1.6.7 (2002-03-01) [i586-mswin32]
MS Windows 2000 Professional

Thank you

Victor
