Oh! tcltklib on 1.8.2 doesn’t support many of those configure options.
Those were added at ‘May 23 07:27:37 2005 UTC’.
If you want to make 1.8.2 on MacOS X Tiger, you have to edit
‘ext/tcltklib/extconf.rb’.
If you have ‘ext/tk/README.tcltklib’, your 1.8.2 source tree is NOT
pure.
The file was added to ruby_1_8 branch at ‘Nov 2 11:19:28 2005 UTC’,
or to ruby 1.9 at ‘Jan 25 14:31:44 2005 UTC’.

Is this what you expected to see?

Hmmm…
It tells me that your ‘/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb’ is derived
from 1.8.2 and your ‘/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk/event.rb’ is
derived from 1.8.3 (or 1.8.4).
That is very strange.
If you used a really clean source tree and had no errors on
‘make install’, I cannot understand the reason of your trouble.
Probably, the simplest way to escape the trouble is to replace
all files for Ruby/Tk under ‘/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/’ to files
under ‘<1.8.2-source>/ext/tk/lib/’ by your hand.

I pull a fresh copy of the Ruby source whenever I try to build. I
have however upgraded to 1.8.3 and 1.8.4pr1, then downgraded back to
1.8.2. Could my library directories be messed up by this process?
Maybe. Was the fresh copy extracted to a new clean directory?
Yes, I always extract to a clean directory.

Bingo! That fixed it.

I certainly would. I have Tk working by using the built-in /usr/bin/
ruby (which I actually renamed /usr/bin/ruby_apple to be clear), but
I’d love to have it working with my home-grown build in /usr/local/
bin/ruby

If you have not yet installed 1.8.3 / 1.8.4, you shouldn’t have any
polution in your directories…
just rebuild 1.8.2 as described at the top of this page:
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyTkOnOSX
After months of failing at getting Tk installed, I followed those
instructions and it just ‘worked’
