Question Trying to compile tile, can't find tcl configuration...


It's pretty simple. I "./configure" while trying to install tile, a widget set for tk, and it says:

"checking for Tcl configuration... configure: WARNING: Can't find Tcl configuration definitions"

What should I install to get this thing to compile?

I think you need to install the tk and tcl dev packages.

You can modify the configure file and add the version of tcl and tk dev files you have (I have 8.4)
(yes you also need tk8.4-dev)

Code:
            if test x"${ac_cv_c_tclconfig}" = x ; then
                for i in `ls -d ${libdir} 2>/dev/null` \
                        `ls -d ${exec_prefix}/lib 2>/dev/null` \
                        `ls -d ${prefix}/lib 2>/dev/null` \
                        `ls -d /usr/local/lib 2>/dev/null` \
                        `ls -d /usr/contrib/lib 2>/dev/null` \
                        `ls -d /usr/lib/tcl8.4 2>/dev/null` \
                        ; do
                    if test -f "$i/tclConfig.sh" ; then
                        ac_cv_c_tclconfig=`(cd $i; pwd)`
                        break
                    fi
                done
            fi


 if test x"${ac_cv_c_tkconfig}" = x ; then
                for i in `ls -d ${libdir} 2>/dev/null` \
                        `ls -d ${exec_prefix}/lib 2>/dev/null` \
                        `ls -d ${prefix}/lib 2>/dev/null` \
                        `ls -d /usr/local/lib 2>/dev/null` \
                        `ls -d /usr/contrib/lib 2>/dev/null` \
                        `ls -d /usr/lib/tk8.4 2>/dev/null` \
                        ; do
                    if test -f "$i/tkConfig.sh" ; then
                        ac_cv_c_tkconfig=`(cd $i; pwd)`
                        break
                    fi
                done
            fi

Smile thanks!

it worked! I had to add a line, instead of just change the tcl version, but it worked nonetheless...
