Hello,  
i am programming tk and want to creat and icon on the taskbar. I think  
this  
is the library i am looking for but the examples do not work. I am  
running  
windows xp pro, and the newest version of the one click installer  
1.8.2.15?  
i get this error  
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/tk/package.rb:86:in `require': TkPackage can't find package icons (RuntimeError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/tkextlib/ICONS/icons.rb:15 from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:18:in`require\_\_’  
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:18:in  
`require' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/tkextlib/ICONS.rb:13 from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:18:in`require\_\_’  
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:18:in  
`require’  
from viewIcons.rb:11

none of the examples in c:\ruby\samples\tk\tkextlib work, but the  
regular  
tk examples work.

Any idea?
