sorry for multiple posts but i've got one step further.. still need some help though!
i gave up on the configure script and symlinking (tried all the header files and libraries as per the pd html documentation to no avail) and tried adding '-I/usr/include/tcl8.3' to the 'INCLUDE = I.' line of the makefile. then when i try to make (after make clean, make depend), i get the successful compilation of everything up /bin/pd-watchdog, then all the tcl/tk stuff starts failing:
t_main.o: In function "Tcl_AppInit' t_main.o(.text+0xd): undefined reference to 'Tcl_Init' t_main.o(.text+0x25): undefined reference to 'Tk_Init'
and a string of subsequent similar error before 'make' returns exit status (Error 1). [Apologies for not pasting the full errors - i haven't got my winmodem up and running yet so i'm manually copying this onto my powerbook!).
it looks to me like the tcl/tk libraries aren't being found, so i tried adding '-L /usr/lib' to the INCLUDE line to no avail. (i have libtcl8.3.so and libtk8.3.so in /usr/lib plus the symlinked libtcl.so and libtk.so). can anyone help me out?
thanks, nick
