Re: pkg/28296: x11/ruby-tcltklib uses wrong DEPENDS relational operator, etc.

Thanks for your problem report.

First, I'm working on whole ruby package's framework now.

You are right.

Because "extconf.rb" has diffrent policy from "configure" script; its
main purpose is using in Ruby distribution's source tree and build
available extention libraries without error.  Anyway, I'll add some
work around in tne new framework.

It isn't really the problem of tcl/tk 8.4 but ruby package's has
problem (or some lack) about handling of pthread library.

Do you use diffrent path, X11BASE?  I couldn't reproduce such
situation on NetBSD 1.6.2/i386 machine.

Can you specify what was need to passed by LDFLAGS?
