Hi

Yes, I did that, but my error was that I used Tcl8.0.5 and tk from the
Metalab repository (binaries pre-compiled). And it was compiled against
X11R6 libs. So I downloaded the sources and compiled myself. Everything
worked fine.

I tryied also to used Tcl/tk 8.2 and it didn't work. The error stated
that: -ltcl8.2  -ltk8.2 : not found. However the libtcl8.2.so and
libtk8.2.so where in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and in PATH ... :(

Anyway, I am using tcl8.0.5 and it works.

Thanks to all that replied.
