Re: [QUESTIONS] warning: tcl support disabled

Anyway, the problem is that configure is trying to link a main program
with -ltk8.0, which will fail *even if libtk8.0 is present*. The
reason is that libTk requires both Tcl and the X libraries in order to
link successfully.

I guess this may only be a problem with shared libraries, because this
didn't occur for me when I had the static versions. Sorry about
that. A more complete integration of the solution with my earlier
patch follows. Note that this patch should be applied afer the
earlier one, then autoconf run to reconstruct the configure script.

Hope this works for all.

Cheers,
Brook
