[techtalk] Tcl/Tk question

[subb3 at attglobal.net]

I have downloaded the source from scriptics site. Tcl compiles fine.
Tk compiles too but gives lots of warnings. When I try to do "make test"
that fails.

My system has Slackware 4.0. Is glibc2, required for this version of Tcl/Tk?
The docs do not mention that. Since the compile is fine, it should not be a
requirement. Why is the "make test" failing? I did not find tclTest.c in the
source tree. This is true for version 8.2.1 too.

Here is part of the compile output.

------------------------------------------------

Is anyone using Tcl/Tk version 8.2.2? What did you do to get this problem fixed?
Any pointers appreciated.
