Hello all,
I previously used Tk with Python, now I wanted to write some simple Tk
program in Ruby
I am not 100% familiar with the build process of Ruby sources on my
Linux box, on configure you usually see what header/tools has been found
in the system and the Makefile is generated
I can imagine that this search process affects what Ruby libraries gets
build in the process later. Thus I installed tcl with configure
–prefix=/some-hidden-directory and tk sources with
configure --prefix=/usr/local/bin
make
make install
So the tk libraries should be included in the INC/LIB search path
when Ruby’s configure is running(?)
Then I got Ruby 1.8.3 sources and configured-make-ed them.
rb(main):004:0* require “tk”
LoadError: No such file to load – tcltklib
from /pool/installed/ruby//lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:7:in require' from /pool/installed/ruby//lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:7 from (irb):4:inrequire’
from (irb):4
irb(main):005:0>
this is the error message
I tried to find “tcltklib” without success
find /pool/installed -iname “tcltklib”
find /usr/local/ -iname “tcltklib”
find /usr/lib/ -iname “tcltklib”
nothing …
I notieced the double // in the path
irb(main):024:0> $:.map! {|path| path.sub("//", “/”)}
irb(main):029:0* require ‘tk’
=> false
still nothing, I am running out of ideas 
where is the chain broken, thankfull for all suggestions
Regards ,Daniel
