Subject: Re: instructions for Tk on OS X 10.2???

Brian,

I tried to compile it with the ruby-4 source code from
Apple's open source page.  Its the extconf.rb that I
can't seem to get to see the Tk headers.  I edited
that and it didn't work.  I looked at CocoaRuby's files and
think I might have to work out this whole framework
thing on OS X.  I haven't programmed much on OS X
(recent convert) so I am starting pretty far behind the
curve.
