Problem when require 'tk'

Ruby
#1

Hi All,

My OS is Fedora. I download Ruby source and comppiled. I download
ActiveTcl and installed. But, when I do require ‘tk’, ruby say:
LoadError:no such file to load – tk.

Please help me.

Thanks.

It seems you may have installed Ruby then Tcl, so you may need to
recompile Ruby to use it.

Hi Justin,

Thanke you for your reply. I have followed the steps in the install
document to setup. But, I don’t success. When I run “make” command, I
found the “tk” module can’t be complie, please see the part of “make”
resule:

compiling tk
make[1]: Entering directory /home/lm/Desktop/ruby/ext/tk' make[1]: Nothing to be done forall’.
make[1]: Leaving directory /home/lm/Desktop/ruby/ext/tk' compiling tk/tkutil make[1]: Entering directory/home/lm/Desktop/ruby/ext/tk/tkutil’
make[1]: Nothing to be done for all'. make[1]: Leaving directory/home/lm/Desktop/ruby/ext/tk/tkutil’

I have another question. In the install document, % ./configure
–prefix=
–with-tcl-dir=/opt/ActiveTcl-8.5
–with-tk-dir=/opt/ActiveTcl-8.5
–with-tcllib=tclstub8.5
–with-tklib=tkstub8.5
–enable-tcltk_stubs
–enable-tcl-thread
–enable-pthread
In here, indicate tcllib to tclstub8.5, but, I can’t found any file
called tclstub8.5 in my Tcl installed folder.

Thanks.

I try again. I get these error below:
