ruby -v
ruby 2.7.4p191 (2021-07-07 revision a21a3b7d23) [x86_64-linux-gnu]
I want to fool around with the `Tk' GUI environment.
tried `gem install tk'. No Joy! Output at: 5665a011 - Ruby Tk
it's never a joy to install an app as root. corrollary: never a joy to
install a system app
Ideas please. TIA
install manually and separately tk and tcl; one for tk, one for tcl. i just
tested the latest 8.6.12 awhile back
1 download the installer in a subfolder under your home folder
2 configure using --prefix=/home/you/your_folder. ("/home/you/your_folder"
is your target destination folder. you can find the configure and installer
files right?)
3 just make and make install the combo separately
it's never a joy to install an app as root. corrollary: never a
joy to install a system app
LOL - Too true!

I'll give your method a try as well. I ran into problems with the
other suggested methods. Not a big deal though. I don't /need/ Tk!
I was just wanting to test-drive an example. Thanks for your input.

I guess the GIGO principle applies here. Garbage In Garbage Out. No
surprise there!

Thanks for the Heads Up!
Haven't tried your method yet. Having Debian repo issues that I
first need to fix.
Afterwards, I think that I'll nuke all versions of Ruby off this
box and start over with a fresh Ruby install. Hopefully that will
solve the issues I'm having.
I've been hacking code since 1981, and along the way there has
always been issues to solve with installation software at one time
or another. These days though, at 75 yrs young LOL and dealing with
cancer/chemo, this stuff can be more of a challenge some days.
Thanks again for your input.

it should work. i do debian and derivatives..

i use a version mgr, currently using asdf-vm to install different versions
of ruby, erlang, elixir, node.

You bet! Picked up on that ..

versions of ruby, erlang, elixir, node.
I need to do that as well I suppose. BTW, I'm also test-driving
elixir as well.

Lot's of mileage there too!

This will! USMC/Agent Orange/Viet Nam-2 tours. But I've been
blessed and will be enjoying yet another Christmas.

Actually, if you're suffering from cancer, that's when you're supposed to
follow the tried and tested methods the most instead of stubbornly fighting
against them or ignoring them (someone with cancer has no business doing
that). Cancer is no excuse yet more the reason to follow the official-based
recommendations to succeed quickest. Succeeding might cure you in fact. I
would try them if I were in your position. That's how I keep myself healthy
and cancer free.
Either way, I pray to the Lord that you are cured from cancer and that you
succeed in utilizing Tk in Ruby.
By the way, I've been hacking code since the 80's too. You're not the only
oldie around here!
Merry Christmas,

Is there a "Technical Guidelines for Cancer Patients" doc somewhere?

Glimmer DSL for LibUI requires no prerequisites, so it involves no fussing
around with pre-installing prerequisite libraries and packages beforehand.
Just install the glimmer-dsl-libui Ruby gem and you can run cross-platform
native GUI (and non-native too) that just works.
Of course, the trade-off is that the C libui library wrapped by it is
probably the youngest of all the GUI toolkits out there:
So, it might be missing some needed features, but there are almost
workarounds to all its weaknesses. You're welcome to hit me up if you
encounter questions about it. Even if some things seem missing, I might
know a way or two to get around them anyways.
Here are examples of a fully-native sample application built with it (has a
native look and feel on each platform):
Also, just recently, unidirectional and bidirectional data-binding
capabilities have been added to it, so you can bind data with a simple use
of a <=> arrow for bidirectional data-binding or <= arrow for
unidirectional data-binding now.
Cheers,
