ruby-1.8.1/ext/tk/sample/demos-en/ : none works!

[Paul]

Hi,

[Solaris 8]

I tried running the scripts under ruby-1.8.1/ext/tk/sample/demos-en/
and none of them seem to work:

~/ruby-1.8.1/ext/tk/sample/demos-en> ruby filebox.rb
filebox.rb:14: uninitialized constant TkToplevel (NameError)

So I edit filebox.rb and add 'require tk', and re-run:

/export/users/paul/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1623:in `__invoke':
unknown option "-positionWindow" (RuntimeError)
from /export/users/paul/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1623:in
`_invoke'
from /export/users/paul/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1027:in
`tk_call'
from /export/users/paul/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:3848:in
`configure'
from /export/users/paul/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:3783:in
`method_missing'
from filebox.rb:18
from filebox.rb:15:in `new'
from filebox.rb:15:in `new'
from filebox.rb:15

Has anyone got any of these demos to work??!!! On a positive note, I
can get almost all of the scripts under ~/ruby-1.8.1/ext/tk/sample to
work fine.

Most of demos-en samples are started by a launcher script 'widget'.
Please run 'widget' script and click "Common Dialogs 2. File selection
dialog." It will call filebox.rb.

... at least thats what ya consider 4 non-win os, as for win you have to
make small changes to the source, here's my suggestion: since cat doesnt
work for use we go with the dos equivalent TYPE, but wait: dos uses \'es
instead of /'es ... so, inside widget.rb change:

It already has no longer used an external command there.
