Tcl/Tk configuration definition locations in MEPIS

Where are the locations of the tcl and tk configuration definitions in MEPIS?

I went to build the tray docker for aMSN when I got the following warning:

Code:

root@1[traydock]# ./configure
checking for Tcl configuration... configure: WARNING: Can'tfind Tcl configuration definitions

The readme says I can go ./configre --with-tcl=[location] --with-tk=[location] (or something to that effect) but I don't know where they are.
I've tried /usr/lib/tcl8,4 and /usr/lib/tk8.4 but those folders don't contain what is needed (tclConfig.sh)

I have tried a kdesu kfind search and cannot find anything.

apt-get install tcl8.4 tcl8.4-dev tk8.4 tk8.4-dev

hey mos__ (its melllvar)

here's what I did to get aMSN to dock (in KDE of course) in a fresh install of MEPIS 3.3.1

i had to get the packages: tcl8.4-dev, tk8.4-dev, and imlib11-dev (using the synaptic package manager, but this could be done with apt-get... or something.)

then as root I just went into path/to/amsn/plugins/traydock and ran

./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4/ --with-tk=/usr/lib/tk8.4/ && make

To get it working, you don't even need to re-start aMSN. In the aMSN contacts window choose both Tools > Docking > FreeDesktop (KDE3/Gnome2) and Tools > Close Button Minimizes

Voila!
