TCL/TK configure problems

Stan Brown <stanb@awod.com> — 1999-01-10T00:41:21Z

	could soemeone explain to me how the tcl/tk configure stuff is suposed
	to worl?

	I built 6.4.2 on my HP-UX machine a week or so agao, and had to do some
	_really_ strange things to get it working. Tonite I tried to build on
	FreeBSD (sort of a reference paltform, no?), and still had the folowint
	error, during configure:

checking for tkConfig.sh... no
configure: warning: TK support disabled; Tk configuration script missing

	I used teh --with-tcl and --with tk configure flags, so what's going on
	here?

The configure script wrongly thinks, tcl and tk are to be found at the
same loaction.  On SuSE Linux I've to use the following *ugly* hack:

Or you could add configure --with-libs=DIR.
