You can install a fresh Tcl from:

Their 8.4 seems to play well with OCI ruby.

Does windows still think tcl is installed? You might want to attempt to  
uninstall that first.

I’ve tried that it doesn’t work for me. We reinstalled the OS on the  
laptop so I don’t think that TCL would be ‘installed’ How can I check?

Well, I was talking about the add/remove programs control panel, but if  
you know tcl isn’t there, then just install install it from scratch.

Is there any other GUIs besides the G something something? Please  
forgive me it has been forever since I’ve programmed it’s just that  
someone asked me to build an app and now I’m having a hard time on the  
GUI… TK is too much of a problem to install, it seems rather imposable  
to TK84.dll and the G one is too much work. Is there yet another GUI?

Fox/FXRuby comes with the Windows Ruby OCI. Take a look at the examples.  
They can be found in your installed ruby dir at:

lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.13-mswin32/examples/table.rb

for example. You might want to “gem update” first, since I think the OCI  
doesn’t have quite the latest FXRuby.
