in [Ruby]

From: Rich Leblanc on 19 Jul 2010 00:53 I'm trying to install Ruby on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine following this guide; http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html#installwin After setting the environment variables and compiling I get this error: >irb irb(main):001:0> require 'tk' LoadError: no such file to load -- tk from (irb):1:in `require' from (irb):1 from :0 I've googled for an answer but only find lot's of other people with the same problem but no answer. Any ideas why it doesn't work or how to fix it? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Neither of those links was helpful. How did you install Ruby? Using RubyInstaller? That doesn't include Tk (because, as I understand it, it's currently impossible to automatically build and package Tk along with it). Assuming you installed Tk, you can compile a gem called tk_as_gem that will work with your existing Tk installation. You'll need the Ruby development kit (MSys tools, available from http://rubyinstaller.org/) to compile it.

Like the first post says; I'm trying to install Ruby on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine following this guide; http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html#installwin I installed ActiveState ActiveTCL which includes tk. I can run wish85 successfully. Tcl/tk is installed. Like the first post says, after setting environment variables and compiling according to the instructions it doesn't work. And by that I mean that when I run require 'tk' from the irb it gives the error message; LoadError: no such file to load -- tk -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. |
