On that page the same responder mentions a seemingly MUCH better
alternative - add ActiveTcl to your path!

   export PATH=$PATH:/opt/ActiveTcl-8.5
   ... do stuff...

It's unclear from your descriptions whether ruby requires access
libraries to compile, or whether the compile scripts just want to run
some tcl commands. If the latter, setting the path should work.
