No problem - thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately we'll be stuck with this problem in squeeze so anything cross-depending on tcl8.5-dev (and using the tclConfig.sh mechanism) won't cross-build. Still, lots of stuff in squeeze won't cross-build so it's just one of those things. > > I notice that upstream tcl builds these files in /lib but then we move > > them into /usr/share and then put a link back in the old place.
