Hello.
./configure fails on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p7 because
the script looks in /usr/include and /usr/lib when tcl/tk is usually
installed (via ports) into /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib.
The script also tests for linkage against the tcl and tk libraries
with the -ltcl8.X and -ltk8.X flags, when for no apparent reason,
FreeBSD names the libraries:
libtcl84.so (-ltcl84)
libtk84.so (-ltk84)
Don't you just love unnecessary breakage of standard file
paths?
I'd submit a patch for the configure script, unfortunately, I don't
understand autoconf at all and going by some of the stories I've
heard from other devs, I really don't want to understand it...
cheers,
MC
