Discussion on: Installing Ruby/Tk on Ubuntu

Thanks for the mention.

After Tk had been extracted out of Ruby, I tended to install more conveniently using RVM:

rvm reinstall 3.0.2 --enable-shared --enable-pthread --with-tk --with-tcl

(assuming ActiveTcl was installed beforehand; and following the Ruby reinstall by gem install tk)

In any case, I provide a Ruby gem that enables a more Ruby-way of using Tk: Glimmer DSL for Tk

I recently built CryptoPunks GUI with it.
