tcltklib is a folder in the 1.8.3 source folder in ext
directory. I find it on my system as a bundle.

I was worried that emacs might be using the ruby 1.6 which
comes as a default on panther, so I deleted two folders that
had 1.6 in it, and checked terminal still runs my snipet.

Now the error message in emacs  has changed:
dudruby3.rb:1:in `require': No such file to load -- tk
(LoadError) from dudruby3.rb:1

So emacs was using 1.6 instead of 1.8.3 before!

But somehow removing the couple 1.6 directories did not
solve my problem, just changed it a bit. Now it does not
know what to do with require tk at all.

The DLY directory line seems permanently removed.

I think this is what you mean. It is the same emacs I
downloaded except I would download the tiger version.

Thank you, I will post there if I continue to have trouble
on tiger.
