I got the same error message when running in WinNT4 with the standard
distirbution from the ruby homepage. I find a modified version in
"http://www.s-direktnet.de/homepages/neumann/rb_prgs/". You need to modify
the tcl verion number in tcltklib.rb in the ruby\lib directory and put the
tcl\bin directory into your path. You should be able to run the samples
afterward.
