Arcadia IDE requires tcl/tk and ruby-tk

luislavena · March 13, 2012, 1:58pm

which or where tcl and tk does arcadia require? Is this a gem which I
install, or a package from synaptic? In either case, which one
specifically? There are so many variants.

Trying to use arcadia:

Tk is packaged by default with Ruby Installer for Windows (you can
choose it during installation). It’s probably somewhere in the
operating system repos for Linuxes (but don’r quote me on this).

Ok, that’s what I thought. I installed:

aptitude install -y libtcltk-ruby libtcltk-ruby1.9.1

but still get that error. Well, I’ll look at it again tomorrow. thanks
for the quick reply!

I gues I’m missing “regular” tk.

This command should be all you need. (I didn’t try it, I don’t have

$ sudo apt-get install libtcltk-ruby

Yes, I installed that already, no luck. I’ll try when I get home to
find out more.

You already got a lot of useful responses, but here’s my guess: when you
use RVM you basically build Ruy yourself. You did install the TCL/TK
packages after your installed Ruby, my guess is you need them to have
properly installed before you build Ruby; i.e. Ruby requires them to
be present during the build process.

Short: now that you have the TCL/TK packages (and their -dev variants
probbably) installed, reinstall Ruby via rvm so it picks them up.

I’ve never used TCL/TK but I have similar problems when using rvm on a
new machine and I forget to install e.g. libreadline-dev ; I end up with
a non-working IRB, which requires that the libreadline-dev package is
available at the time I install/build Ruby via rvm (at least this was
the case in the past).

HTH,

Markus

You could use ruby-build and this build script:

github.com

rubyunworks/ruby-build-tk/blob/master/share/ruby-build/1.9.3-rc1+tk8.5

# @see http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html

# TODO: Add support for MacOS.

if [ -z $installdir ]; then
  installdir="/opt/ActiveTcl-8.5"
fi

if [ ! -d "$installdir" ]; then
  echo "Installing ActiveTcl8.5.10..."
  echo "IMPORTANT: Be sure to use the default settings in the install dialog."

  wget http://downloads.activestate.com/ActiveTcl/releases/8.5.10.1/ActiveTcl8.5.10.1.295062-linux-x86_64-threaded.tar.gz
  tar -xf ActiveTcl8.5.10.1.295062-linux-x86_64-threaded.tar.gz
  cd ActiveTcl8.5.10.1.295062-linux-x86_64-threaded
  ./install.sh
fi

if [ ! -d "/opt/ActiveTcl-8.5" ]; then
  echo "Could not find /opt/ActiveTcl-8.5"

Note, that I threw that together just to get up running. I don’t
consider
it perfect by any means. So if you see any way to improve please let me
know.

And if you are so inclined please support ruby-build issue #131
(Build Extensions · Issue #131 · rbenv/ruby-build · GitHub)

Ah, very interesting. I try to stay within apt, so this is my first
usage of rvm and it’s a bit new.

Thanks for all the input

Ok, I did that, and then:

Quite odd, because last time it was on the path before somehow. It’s

Ok, well, this seems to be a different problem. Maybe because I didn’t
do the post configuration correctly:

However, I’m going through that again, but don’t see what I’m missing.

Do you have a line at the end of your .bashrc adding $HOME/.rvm/bin to
your PATH?

yes:

thufir@caladan:~$ tail .bashrc

enable programmable completion features (you don’t need to enable

this, if it’s already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile

I did install rvm as root, but imploded that when I realized it wasn’t
going to work. I’m wondering whether that created some artifacts which
make it hard to execute gems from the CLI. It’s not just arcadia, but I
also installed the rails gem and get the same result – it’s just not on
the path. The gems are there in the .rvm directory, however.

Thanks for the help. Follow ups to:

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/rubyversionmanager/CnKQpHvgwBk/
discussion

which seems a bit more on topic.

thanks,

just type the next command inside of your project:

gem install tk

ruby-tk do not seem maintained anymore

SciTE Download Scintilla and SciTE

and

Geany https://www.geany.org/

are simpler option to install
