8 We face similar issues with multiple versions of ruby. The solution we
9 currently use is to indicate in each ruby ebuild for which versions of
10 ruby it will work with the USE_RUBY="" variable (e.g. USE_RUBY="ruby18
11 ruby19") and then build and install the code for each ruby version that
12 is installed on the system. Both ruby versions use different load paths
13 so it is even possible to eselect one version of ruby as the default and
14 still use another ruby version to run specific applications.

16 Maybe this approach can work for tcl/tk as well?
