Ruby still doesn’t recognize tk.

A helpful person suggested that I  
install Advance Tcl, which I did.  
But still no recognition.

I looked in

/usr/lib/ruby  
/usr/local/lib/ruby

for any trace of tk and found none.

Later, Mr. Google told me about a  
package

```
 ruby18-tk

```

which is BSD. I downloaded it and  
I can’t make heads or tails of what  
I have downloaded; there is no README  
or similar documentation.

So, does anyone have any thoughts about what  
to do next. I really would like to talk  
about Ruby/tk in my class.
