Currently I have a console based application on Linux. I want to move to
a Text based Menu UI using ncurses. But I came to know that Ruby would
be more easy to develop and flexible and powerful. Can any one comment
on this aspect to guide me in making a correct choice?
I downloaded the Ruby source ruby-1.8.6. I compiled the source and
installed. But the GUI tool kit TK is not binding and throwing an error
on executing an .rb file, like
"HelloWorld.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- tk (LoadError)"

Don't compile Ruby. There's some system to add tk support when you
compile; don't bother. Just install Ruby and a matching RubyTk library
from your distro.
On my Ubuntu, I search up the correct package like this:
apt-cache search ruby | grep -i tk
then install it like this:
sudo apt-get install libtk-ruby
Uninstall whatever you did, first, then use your platform's package
manager to install a complete set of integrated packages.
I compiled the tcl8.4.15-src.tar.gz and tk8.4.15-src.tar.gz.
But Ruby I compiled independently. Is there any way whick binds the Tk
library with Ruby with all being compiled independently.
