Is it possible to install Ruby Tk bindings on Windows with
RubyInstaller, and on Mac OS X 10.6, without recompiling Ruby? I've
seen a few sites that explain how to recompile Ruby on each platform
to use Tk, but so far it looks like that's the only way.

I'm not sure about MaxOSX, but for Windows:

The "Availability" section says you just have to install ActiveState's
package and everything will work fine.

I did install ActiveTcl on Windows, but afterwards "require 'tk'"
didn't work. It seems that I don't even have the proper Ruby files to
"require". I also never told Ruby where my Tcl/Tk was installed.

I vaginally remember having this problem. After I installed
ActiveState's package ruby wasn't able to see Tk's DLL. I believe my
problem had gone after I restarted Windows. Perhaps the folder the DLL
is in is added to Windows' registry somewhere and Windows notes it only
after a restart. I know very little about Windows so this is only a
guess.

Wow. I intended to write "vaguely". I had some misspelling ("vagually"),
so I just picked the first suggestion the speller gave me, it looked
like what I wanted. My sight isn't 6/6. Sorry :-)
