I read:
hm ok, i tried installing the ActiveTcl8.4.9.0.121397-linux-ix86 package in /usr/lib/ gave symbolic links to libtcl8.4.so -> libtcl.so & libtk8.4.so -> libtk.so extended PATH="/ftp/usr/lib/bin:$PATH" & export[ed] PATH configured pd --without-x (--without-tcl doesn't seem to do any good) but still no go... anything i'm missing?
most probably the development package[s], that contain the tcl/tk include files.
HTH
