Subject: making module 'tk' work on mac os x

Hello,
I'm trying to use the tk module with tcl and tk I've compiled against 
X11 on mac os x.
everything compiles fine and I can do require 'tcltk'  succesfully but 
I get an error with
require 'tk' :

irb(main):001:0> require 'tk'
RuntimeError: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.3, need 8.4
         from /supp/lib/ruby/1.6/tk.rb:474:in `new'
         from /supp/lib/ruby/1.6/tk.rb:474
         from (irb):1:in `require'
         from (irb):1

my configure line was:
CFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-common -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib 
-I/supp/include -L/supp/lib' ./configure --prefix=/supp 
--exec-prefix=/supp --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include 
--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --enable-shared

where /supp has my versions of tcl and tk

I even tried using --with-tcl-include etc as per an archived post but 
same results.

I'm assuming somehow the compile is using the system default tcl that 
apple shipped to /usr/lib and friends which is 8.3 instead of the one 
in /supp which is 8.4

any thoughts on how to avoid that without just deleting apple's tcl?
