How I got Tcl/Tk working with Ruby on OS X

In case anyone is having trouble with this:

Download the source for Tcl 8.4.16, Tk 8.4.16, and Ruby 1.8.6.

Rename the source directories to tcl, tk, and ruby.

cd tcl/macosx
./configure
make >& make.log
sudo make install

cd tk/macosx
./configure
make >& make.log
sudo make install

cd ruby
./configure --enable-tcltk-framework --with-tcltk-framework=/Library/
Frameworks --with-tcl-framework-header=/Library/Frameworks/
Tcl.framework/Headers --with-tk-framework-header=/Library/Frameworks/
Tk.framework/Headers --enable-pthread
make >& make.log
sudo make install

and what to do with an already installed ruby 1.8.6 under /opt
(MacPorts) ???

there is no ./configure

how come it is so troublesome just to make tk work.
