    OK...Trying to compile blt2.4v on a Red Hat 7.1 box with tcltk8.3.3 installed from source I got:

    gcc -Wall -O6   -I. -I.  -I/usr/X11R6/include -Wl,-rpath,/usr/X11R6/lib -o bltwish \         ./bltUnixMain.c libBLT.a -ltk8.3 -ltcl8.3 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lm -lnsl  -ldl
    /tmp/ccYfBKk5.o: In function `main':
    /tmp/ccYfBKk5.o(.text+0x82): undefined reference to `Tk_Main'
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    make[1]: *** [bltwish] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jaspert/build/blt2.4v/src'
    make: *** [all] Error 2

    I then tried...
    $ nm /usr/lib/libtk8.3.so | grep Tk_Main
    0002d880 T Tk_MainEx
    0002394c T Tk_MainLoop
    0003909c T Tk_MainWindow
    00028670 T Tk_MaintainGeometry
    $

    Sure enough there is no Tk_main! It disappeared somewhere between versions 8.0 and 8.2, but this is supposed to have been tested on 8.3! Should I just substitute MainEx for Main in the BLT source code? I can't think of anything else.

    Hoping for someone to offer flash of insight...

      The problem is that you have a mismatch between
      the Tcl/Tk libraries and header files.

      The libraries are version 8.3, but the header
      files --I'm willing to guess-- are 8.0.  The
      Tk_Main function was turned into a macro at some
      point (found in tk.h).  Is 8.3 installed in
      /usr/local?

      Check the include files.  You can force configure to explicitly point to those files.

         ./configure \      --with-tcl-includes=/usr/local/include \      --with-tk-include=/usr/local/include \      --with-tcl-libraries=/usr/local/lib \      --with-tk-libraries=/usr/local/lib

      Please let me know if this doesn't work for you
      (gah@siliconmetrics.com).
