Hello,
I need help with my installing scid to ubuntu.
Here it is:
configure: Makefile configuration program for Scid
Tcl/Tk version: 8.5
Your operating system is: Linux 2.6.27-9-generic
Location of "tcl.h": /usr/include/tcl8.5
Location of "tk.h": /usr/include/tcl8.5
Location of Tcl 8.5 library: /usr/lib
Location of Tk 8.5 library: /usr/lib
Location of X11 library: /usr/lib
Checking if your system already has zlib installed: yes.
Error opening file for reading: Makefile.conf
I think this is an old problem. Any help will be appreciated.. Thanks a lot
guys, Alfred
