     = /usr/local/bin/irb:10:in    'require': No such file to = load -- irb (LoadError) from /usr/local/bin/irb:10

Anytime I try and use "require 'tk'", I get = the same type of error.

I want to end up using "fxruby", but for = right now, I would like "irb" and "tk" to work. Any = words of wisdom would be appreciated.
