I'm very sorry I'm late to release the trial version. 
I edited large part of Ruby/Tk libraries to fix to SEGV problem
( probably :-) ), and performance up on Tk8.[1234] (some scripts 
may be  2 or 3 times faster when creating widgets).

Please get the source archive from 
 http://www.dumbo.ai.kyutech.ac.jp/~nagai/rbtk20040323.tar.gz

It includes two directories; tcltklib and tk. Please replace same 
name directories of Ruby source tree (under 'ext' directory), 
compile, and install them. They will work with Ruby 1.8.1+ and 1.9.0. 

Your comments and bug reports are welcome.
