the error is about some tcl header I paste it at the end of the mail, i 
couldnt copy it, but i checked and i do have tcl 8.4 installed, weird, 
maybe is not the whole thing and there are as you say some packages 
missing?. I will email to the ubuntu mailing list to see if i can get a 
better picture of the problem.

thanks to all for the tips
