Prerequisites

The host pacs1 runs SuSE 9.3. The TCL package of this distribution does not contain the "threads" extension. Therefore TCL/TK must be reinstalled from their source packages.

Required YAST modules:

• xorg-x11-devel - Include Files and Libraries mandatory for Development

Required source tar balls:

• tcl8.4.11-src.tar.gz
• tk8.4.11-src.tar.gz
• thread2.6.2.tar.gz # TCL thread extension
• tclBlend1.3.1.tar.gz

Place all four source tar balls into the same directory and also start each installation step from this directory.

Installing TCL 8.4.11

tar -xzf tcl8.4.11-src.tar.gz
cd tcl8.4.11/unix
./configure --enable-threads -enable-shared --enable-man-symlinks --prefix=/usr
make 
make test
su -c "/usr/bin/make install" 

Installing TCL 8.4.11

tar -xzf tk8.4.11-src.tar.gz
cd tk8.4.11/unix
./configure --enable-threads -enable-shared --enable-man-symlinks --prefix=/usr --with-tcl=../../tcl8.4.11/unix
make 
#make test
su -c "/usr/bin/make install" 

Install TCL thread extension

tar -xzf thread2.6.2.tar.gz
cd thread2.6.2/unix
../configure --enable-threads --prefix=/usr
make
make test
su -c "/usr/bin/make install" 

Install TCLblend

tar -xzf tclBlend1.3.1.tar.gz
cd tclBlend1.3.1
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-tcl=../tcl8.4.11/unix --with-thread=../thread2.6.2/unix
make
make test
su -c "/usr/bin/make install"
