What is tcl.h?

divoibs · 09-24-2004, 12:32 PM

I'm trying to install an Audio conferencing tool - RAT which requires tcl.h. I've got tcl package installed but when I run ./configure, it still cannot work. This is what I get:

Could not find tcl.h. One of the following halted progress:
(a) Tcl is not installed.
(b) Tcl's location was mis-specified, or not specified (--with-tcl=DIR).
(c) this script failed to see it (please inform rat-trap@cs.ucl.ac.uk).

Anyone out there who could kindly provide a piece of advice or two will be utmost appreciated. Thank you.

Just having the package installed is not enough when compiling you need to have the developement files installed as well.

Looking at the output of a search here on Debian I would say you need one of the tcl8.?-dev packages whatever it is called in your distro.

Code:

Thanks for the advice. I actually got the tcl package installed. Mine is tcl-8.3.3-74. I manage to deal with my previous problem by specifying my tcl.h path. However, now I'm facing the problem of Tcl_Init. Here's what I got:

[root@localhost rat]# ./configure --with-tcl=/usr/include

checking for /usr/include/tcl.h... yes
checking for library containing Tcl_Init... no
Could not find Tcl library. One of the following halted progess:
(a) Tcl is not installed.
(b) Library is not built or not in expected location (--with-tcl=DIR).
(c) this script failed to see it (please inform rat-trap@cs.ucl.ac.uk).

Where can I get Tcl_Init? I searched it but it's not found in my system. If I can get it from the installation CD, will someone be kind enough to tell me a more precise path(file)? There're so many of them. Again, thanks.

regards,
divo

Just got to know that tcl_init is a helper to locate init.tcl. I got init.tcl in my system under path /usr/lib/tcl8.3. However, I have no idea what kind of switch command shall I use so I can run the ./configure successfully. Anyway, I enclosed the ./configure --help content. Hopefully you guys out there can give me a hand. Thanks!
