i’ve installed ruby using macports :

> ruby --version  
> ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [powerpc-darwin8.9.0]

and tk isn’t found :  
[…]custom\_require.rb:27:in `gem\_original\_require’: no such file to  
load – tk (LoadError)

I want to leave with that version of ruby because it is working with  
RubyCooca BUT, i’d like to make a try with Ruby/Tk (using Tcl/Tk Aqua  
???) what does i need to do ?
