Hi,

I am trying to use TCL/TK with the = cygwin version=20 of Ruby. I have tcl/tk installed previously for cygwin as well and = am=20 running ruby from the cygwin environment. As I type "require 'tk'" = from=20 irb, I get this error:

LoadError: tcltklib: tcltk_stubs init=20 error(-1)
        from=20 /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/tk.rb:7:in=20 `require'
        from=20 /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/tk.rb:7
      &n= bsp;=20 from (irb):1:in `require'
        = from=20 (irb):1

I believe this error comes from when = the tk.rb file=20 tries to load the tcltklib.so

This shared library file was = probably put=20 there when I installed ruby. The ruby=20 installation I used was rub-1.6.7-i386-cygwin.tar.gz.

Cygwin dll version is 1.3.12 so it is = quite=20 new.

I've done a search for this problem but = unfortunately the references I've found were in Japanese so I couldn't = read and=20 understand the fix (if it was mentioned).

Any ideas on how to fix this = problem? I would=20 prefer to stay in the cygwin environment.

Thanks,

Chee
