Ruby with Tcl Tk

Ruby with Tcl/Tk

See http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html.

For Linux, here is a shell script that is easy to follow:

if [ -z $installdir ]; then
  installdir="/opt/ActiveTcl-8.5"
fi

if [ ! -d "$installdir" ]; then
  echo "Installing ActiveTcl8.5.10..."
  echo "IMPORTANT: Be sure to use the default settings in the install dialog."

  wget http://downloads.activestate.com/ActiveTcl/releases/8.5.10.1/ActiveTcl8.5.10.1.295062-linux-x86_64-threaded.tar.gz
  tar -xf ActiveTcl8.5.10.1.295062-linux-x86_64-threaded.tar.gz
  cd ActiveTcl8.5.10.1.295062-linux-x86_64-threaded
  ./install.sh
fi

if [ ! -d "/opt/ActiveTcl-8.5" ]; then
  echo "Could not find /opt/ActiveTcl-8.5"
  exit
fi
