Hi,

While I found that to compile Ruby on Solaris 9 with Tcl/Tk in the
directory /opt/ActiveTcl, I had to configure with

../configure --prefix=/opt/Ruby --with-tcl-dir=/opt/ActiveTcl --with-tk-dir=/opt/ActiveTcl

I also found that Ruby can't find the Tcl/Tk libraries at runtime
unless I edit ext/tcltklib/Makefile in the build directory and add
-R/opt/ActiveTcl/lib in the definition of DLDFLAGS.  Is there
something I'm not doing right with the configuration or is there a
problem with the configuration itself?

I'm using gcc 3.2.

I haven't a lot of testing with the results, but it seems to be
working now.
