you need tcl and tk-devel packages too (for header files).
Then compile with 
./configure --with-tk-lib=/usr/lib/tk8.3 or something like that, search
on the archives of the mailing list to see exact syntax.

It's a problem that Linux distributions doesn't include ruby-tk binary
packages. But I don't know the solution for that.
