Not enough.
Ruby's version (result of 'ruby -v') and Tcl/Tk's version
(result of 'ruby -r tk -e "p Tk::TK_PATCHLEVEL"') are required.

Sorry about that.

ruby -v gives
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-11-06) [i386-mswin32]

ruby -r tk -e "p Tk::TK_PATCHLEVEL" gives
"8.3.2"

Your suggestion to use option_var.trace('w') worked.
Thank you very much!

ruby -r tk -e "p Tk::TK_PATCHLEVEL" gives
"8.3.2"

It is 1.8.2-preview3, isn't it?
If without patch, combination of this version and Tcl/Tk8.3.x
has a trouble.
Please see [ruby-talk:119637].

If you can compile 1.8.2-preview3 by yourself,
I recommend you to compile it with ActiveTcl8.4.7.
Then, you'll be able to use some Tk extensions on your Ruby/Tk.
You can see the screen shot, when some tkextlib demos are running,
on my article of "Rubyist Magazine vol.0003"
<http://jp.rubyist.net/magazine/?0003-RubyTkMovement>.

I'm glad to hear that.

I'm using the latest version of the Windows one-click installer.

If without patch, combination of this version and Tcl/Tk8.3.x
has a trouble.

I'd like to stay away from building Ruby myself if possible. Since the trace
workaround you suggested is doing what I need, I think I'll wait for a future
version of the one-click installer to get a newer version of ActiveTcl.

You can see the screen shot, when some tkextlib demos are running,
on my article of "Rubyist Magazine vol.0003"

I'm looking forward to the English translation of your article.

Thanks for your help!
