TCL/TK linking on Centos 5 to see browser

Hi all,

I would like to get the GNU Smalltalk browser working on Centos 5. (As
your probably know Centos 5 is built from sources of RedHat Linux
Enterprise 5)

On installing version 2.3.6, the ./configure isn't seeing tcl/tk , i.e.

./configure
... <snip> ...
Auxiliary libraries:
checking for nl_langinfo and CODESET... yes
checking for ld used by GCC... /usr/bin/ld
checking if the linker (/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld... yes
checking for shared library run path origin... done
checking for iconv... yes
checking for iconv declaration...
          extern size_t iconv (iconv_t cd, char * *inbuf, size_t
*inbytesleft, char * *outbuf, size_t *outbytesleft);
checking for initscr in -lncurses... yes
checking how to link with GMP... -lgmp
checking for mp_limb_t... yes
checking size of mp_limb_t... 4
checking for tclsh... no
checking for Tcl 8.x... no
checking for Tk 8.x... no
checking the include path for Tcl/Tk 8.x... not found
checking how to link with Tcl/Tk 8.x... not found
checking how to link with readline... -lreadline -ltermcap



Here is a package list from my installation of Centos
----------------------------
[root@cen5ogo projects_smalltalk]# rpm -qa | grep tcl
tclx-8.4.0-5.fc6
tclx-devel-8.4.0-5.fc6
tcl-8.4.13-3.fc6
tcl-devel-8.4.13-3.fc6

[root@cen5ogo projects_smalltalk]# rpm -qa | grep tk
atk-1.12.2-1.fc6
usermode-gtk-1.88-3.el5
tk-8.4.13-3.fc6
tk-devel-8.4.13-3.fc6
gtk2-2.10.4-16.el5
pygtk2-libglade-2.10.1-8.el5
authconfig-gtk-5.3.12-2.el5
gtkhtml2-2.11.0-3
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.14.2-4.fc6
gtk2-devel-2.10.4-16.el5
gtk+-devel-1.2.10-56.el5
libgtk-java-2.8.7-3.el5
gtk2-engines-2.8.0-3.el5
pygtk2-2.10.1-8.el5
gtk+-1.2.10-56.el5
atk-devel-1.12.2-1.fc6



I was expecting that installing the tcl-devel and tk-devel files should
be enough for the ./configure phase to see tcl/tk is installed.
Does this mean I'll need to download source for tcl/tk and install to
/usr/local?

Thanks
Stephen

It isn't a problem to locally install tcl/tk. Just checking if it is a bug.

Thanks
Stephen

On Fedora I always had to explicitly specify the path to tclConfig.sh
and tkConfig.sh.  Now I just --without-tcl because I don't have Tcl/Tk
installed at all, but this may only work with devo.

If (both of) you give me your paths to *Config.sh, I can add support for
FC and Centos.

Sorry, the server maintainers recently switched to Ubuntu, and it's been
ages since I built GST on there.  But CentOS is built on FC AFAIK, so
sdw's location should suffice.

I've just built it, and used the GST browser. Very nice.

  ./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib/ --with-tk=/usr/lib/


Cheers

Can you do this:

tclsh
puts $tcl_library

Thanks.  The problem should be that /usr/lib/tcl8.4 does not exist, and
so neither does /usr/lib/tcl8.4/.. (which is how the script tries to
reach /usr/lib).

The following patch should work.
