Subject: Re: Ruby Tk

It seems that you don't have Tk installed (I'm not talking about Ruby/Tk, but 
the Tk library itself).  On my system:

$ ls /usr/local/lib/libtk*
/usr/local/lib/libtk8.0.a       
/usr/local/lib/libtkstub8.3.a
/usr/local/lib/libtk8.3.so*

Those are the files that you're missing.
