dyld: NSLinkModule() error

Looks like you didn't install X from the dev tools. I'd try that, it
makes sense that you would need it.

You can find it on your Tiger DVD or download it from Apple. But I don't
understand why TK even depends on X, it doesn't use the X server.

actually, i found those files in

/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/lib

so I tried to use

ruby -I /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/lib test.rb

and it won't work...
and then I set the PATH in bash to the following and it won't work
either:

PATH=/Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/powerpc/bin:/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/lib:/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:.

Yes, it's X11. It's in the Dev Tools image that you download from
Apple, or installed as part of your OS installation.

Many libs in X11 can be used by software without using the X server
itself.

So either I have to find my original Mac OS X DVD, or I can download it
from the net....

http://developer.apple.com/opensource/tools/runni...

By the way I also installed ActiveTcl on the Mac, can't I just start
using Tk? Wow, so big a procedure before being able to use Tk.

This thread got me looking into my (rather new) macbooks ruby installation.

I installed ruby using macports right after getting the machine. I
don't even have tk.rb to require.

Looking around at macports, it seems that there are TWO port variants
for the ruby port related to tk
one is called just tk, the other mactk.

I'm not sure but I suspect that the tk variant requires X11, and that
the mactk variant doesn't.

I'm still very much an OSX newbie, my last Mac was a ppc which
couldn't run anything past OS 8.something, and I've been using Linux
for some time. I'm not clear yet on what's the best way to try to
rebuild ruby using port to add the mactk variant. Do I need to
uninstall and reinstall or is there a better way?

Just to follow up, I did this:

$port deactivate ruby
$port install ruby +mactk

This made my current ruby install inactive, then installed a new
version with the mactk option.

The pickaxe Tk hello world application runs and it is using native OSX widgets.

A variation on this is probably the trick to get around the X11 dependency.
