Thanks for the advice, Pat. I did notice that Plannet CCRMA will be ready for FC4 pretty soon. That is encouraging. I was hoping that an install of Planet CCRMA would take care of my problem.
By the way, I checked the page listing all the software contained in the Planet CCRMA distribution, and it looks like it comes with Pd 0.37. Does Planet CCRMA actually come with the latest version of Pd, or would I need to upgrade if I want Pd 0.38?
In any case, I think I'll keep investigating tcl with the hope that I can get Pd and GEM running sooner, rather than later.

Hello
I have recently installed Linux (Fedora Core 4) on an old Pentium machine. I have plenty of experience running Pd and the extensions on Windows and OS X, but I am completely new to the world of Linux.
I have downloaded Miller's source for 0.38-4, but I am unable to compile the source. Based on my research in the PD-list archives, it seems that my compile problems arise from not having tcl/tk installed on my linux distribution. I don't have access to my linux box until late tonight, so I cannot include the compile errors with this message. Sorry. Anyway, based on some research in to the literature on FC3, it appears as if tcl/tk are supposedly included in the standard distribution.
My question is this: has anyone encountered similar problems compiling Pd on Fedora Core, and if so, is there some sort of option I can modify in the OS, in the package manager perhaps, to activate or install TCL/TK?
I may ultimately turn to the Fedora forum for help installing the TCL and TK rpms I find on the internet. But if there is some obvious solution that I am missing, then I would very much appreciate some clarification. Thanks in advance.
cheers, David Kendall
