First GUI application using TK

Ruby
1

Hi guys, for first sorry for my english.

I’m a newbie with Ruby and i was trying to make a simple script using
“Tk”

I’ve installed Ruby 1.8.6 and ActiveTcl 8.5.5 but when i try to execute
this code

require ‘tk’
hello = TkRoot.new {title “Hello World”}
Tk.mainloop

i received an errore message like "Impossible to run the application.
tk84.dll has not founded. Maybe a new installation could solve the
problem.

Thank you. :slight_smile:

Your tcltklib.dll (installed a part of your Ruby 1.8.6) will be
compiled for Tcl/Tk 8.4.x.
Please use ActiveTcl 8.4.x or recompile tcltklib.dll for Tcl/Tk 8.5.x.

If you want to recompile tcltklib.dll, please read
ext/tk/README.ActiveTcl and ext/tk/README.tcltklib.

When tcltklib.dll is compiled for Tcl/Tk 8.4.x with

–enable-tcltk-stubs (and link to tclstub8.4/tkstub8.4),

possibly the tcltklib.dll works with DLLs of Tcl/Tk 8.5.x.

Thank you very much!

I’ve installed ActiveTcl 8.4.x and now it works fine. :wink:
