But I already have an application written in Ruby/Tk. It works on
Windows. However, someone who has MacOS X.2 wishes to use my
application, so I'm trying to figure out if I can get it to work for
her.

Is it the one at
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/tcltk.html ?
Are you saying if that is installed on MacOS X.2, then
"ruby -e 'require tk'" will work?

That sounds overly complex, especially considering this isn't my
computer that I'm trying to get the application working on...


Thanks.
