Tix windows (install question)

I found a post around here somewhere explaining how to install tix.
Has anyone made it work on windows? I'm getting the follwing.

C:\ruby\tcltk-ext052>mk_tkextlib.rb -p Tix

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/tcltkextlib.rb:47:in `_eval': couldn't load
library "C:/tcl

My def file is

$ext_lib_info = [
  ['Tix', 'tix84.lib', ['C:/tcl8.4.14/bin']],
  nil
]

I also tried the dll. And I tried using the full path. My ruby is
1.8.4.

I'm very sorry, but I don't touch tcltk-ext now.
# It is not tested on Windows.

I thought that supporting Tix is not important because
there are similar widgets in the other extensions
which are included in ActiveTcl binary package.
So, I stopped development of tcltk-ext when added
tkextlib support to Ruby/Tk.
# And I forget about its structure. (^_^;

However, if you really need Tix support,
I'll be able to update tcltk-ext for Ruby-1.8
or add Tix support to tkextlib.

My def file is

$ext_lib_info = [
  ['Tix', 'tix84.lib', ['C:/tcl8.4.14/bin']],
  nil
]

Did you try 'C:\tcl8.4.14\bin'?
Does "Tk.ip_eval('load "C:/tcl8.4.14/bin/tix84.lib" Tix')" or
"Tk.ip_eval('load "C:\tcl8.4.14\bin\tix84.lib" Tix')" succeed?
