tk8.5-dev dependency error not installing in LMDE-64

Post by WoodPawn »

I am trying to compile SCID 4.2 and need tk8.5-dev installed. Here is the steps I have done and the output:

$ ./configure
configure: Makefile configuration program for Scid
Renaming "Makefile" to "Makefile.bak"
Tcl/Tk version: 8.5
Your operating system is: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64
Location of "tcl.h": /usr/include/tcl8.5
Location of "tk.h": not found
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.
Not all settings could be determined!
The default Makefile was written.
You will need to edit it before you can compile Scid.

Using LMDE-AMD64 on Anthalon64. New install. How do I work through this and where might I find this info in the future.

Thanks.

Is this going to require programming a variable or value into the TCL\TK package code?

I am willing to swing at it, although it's been since the days of floppy disk since I did any programming. The unit this is on is not essential, so I can play around with Linux.

Just would like to have SCID and crafty64 on this netbook. Not running through Wine.

Regards.
