I didn't think you could install both of those at the same time. Are you sure you actually have one of them installed? Note, that the -dev packages do not provide "symbols" for linking. They provide the header files for inclusion into C source and the libfoo.so links for ld to link against. Maybe it would help if you showed us the errors from your attempts to compile tcl applications. -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
