Yes, that does the trick as well. The fact remains that aparently the
tcl and tk rpms alone are insufficient to run certain tcl/tk
applications, which makes it a bug IMHO.
Or is this the expected behaviour and is the bug in the Makefile or
configure script of this software that links to -ltcl -ltk (without the
version numbers)?
