Tuxracer can't find Tcl

I'm trying to install Tuxracer on my SuSE Personal 9.1 box, but it's saying that there's no Tcl:

Code:

checking for tcl8.3 library... no

checking for tcl83 library... no

checking for tcl8.2 library... no

checking for tcl82 library... no

checking for tcl8.0 library... no

checking for tcl80 library... no

checking for tcl library... no

configure: error: Cannot find Tcl library

However, it's clearly installed:

Code:

nl@splig:~> rpm -q tcl

tcl-8.4.6-26

How to I get the one to acknowledge the other?

[edit]
OK, sorry everybody - false alarm.

The answer was running ./configure --with-tcl-name=tcl8.4:)

Hmm, this thread can still be rescued - it doesn't like Mesa, either. The ./configure program keeps telling me that I have an out of date glx.h
file. This is its exact output:

Code:

checking for GL library... yes

checking for glXGetProcAddressARB... yes

checking for GLU library... yes

checking for GL/gl.h... yes

checking for GL/glx.h... yes

checking whether glx.h defines glXGetProcAddressARB... no

configure: error: Your copy of glx.h is out of date.  You can get a more recent copy from the latest Mesa distribution (http://mesa3d.sourceforge.net).

I have dutifully installed the latest Mesa, but to no avail. If it's of any help, the Mesa output looked like this:

Code:

Installing

./bin/installmesa



***** Mesa installation - You may need root privileges to do this *****

cp -f ${TOP}/include/GL/*.h ${INCLUDE_DIR}/GL

cp -fd ${TOP}/lib*/lib* ${LIB_DIR}



echo "Done."

Done.

I even tried copying across the glx.h from the distribution package directly to the directory, but that didn't help, either.

Does anybody know how I would get past this hurdle and continue with
the install?

Thanks.

I'm running Fedora Core 6, and I'm having problems with Tcl as well.

Tuxracer has been abandoned, but there is a newer project called PPRacer that is built on the same code. I had NO problem installing that!

PPRacer installed well from Fedora Extras for me. Its a great Game.
