Hello,
I just installed ruby 1.6.7 from the nice installer, after removing
the perviously working 1.6.6 setup.
This time, since I had separately installed Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk from
ActiveState, I didn’t install the Tcl/Tk option, and I also skipped
SciTE.
I found out that:
(1) I had to manually set the three environment variables Ruby
examines when looking for Tcl and Tk
(2) OpenGL appears not to be functional (samples quit with the error:
wrap.rbw:50:in `require’: No such file to load – opengl (LoadError)
from wrap.rbw:50
About (1): would it be possible for the installer to detect other
Tcl/Tk installations, and then automatically de-select the component
and set the variables correctly?
About (2): what am I supposed to do?

I just added a note about this to the WindowsInstaller page at the
RubyGarden Wiki:
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?WindowsInstaller
Looks like even though this version of the installer doesn’t install the
actual OpenGL extension, it does install the samples for it.

You might be able to grab the opengl.so, glu.so and glut.so files that
were included with the 1.6.6 installer and use those. Otherwise, I have
volunteered to build this one and provide it for Andy’s next revision of the
installer.

The problem is unpacking the other installer without actually
installing it. Is it possible?
