Hi all,  
I installed ruby 1.8.5 on Centos 4.4 running on Xeon processors.  
Installation is very nice; no problems. make check/test was also ok.  
however when i try to include tk, there is a problem:  
irb(main):001:0\> require ‘tk’  
LoadError: no such file to load – tk  
from (irb):1:in `require’  
from (irb):1  
however, there is a tk.rb at /usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/tk.rb.  
so i gave the full path. then he same error is repeated with tcltk.rb  
Could anyone help me out with this?  
Thanks
