Does the tk extension support 64bit on Linux?

Running EL3 on an opteron we get:

  [root@op2 root]# ruby -e 'require "tk"'
  /usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux-gnu/tcltklib.so:
  /usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux-gnu/tcltklib.so: undefined symbol: Tk_SafeInit - /usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux-gnu/tcltklib.so (LoadError)
      from /usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:7
      from -e:1:in `require'
      from -e:1
  [root@op2 root]#

Does anone know how to resolve this (using Ruby 1.8.0?).
Thanks

Jim,

Did you build this yourself?

If this is a problem with the stock install, I'd submit it to RedHat.
That's why you are paying for RHEL licenses... (But honestly I don't
remember Ruby being in RHEL3, so I guess not?)

Also Opteron x86 emulation is spot-on (especially compared with
EM64T), so if you can't find a way out, there is no shame in not using
x86_64 instructions...
