Just randomly became aware of Page...been doing some tkinter coding on the Rasberry PI (Raspbian Stretch OS)...wonder if Page is usable on the rpi for speeding up GUI creation??...haven't seen any mentin of installing or using it with the rpi on any rpi gui forums.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have built GUI's on Linux which run just fine on my Raspberry PI 2 which is running Rasperian. The Rplay example in the documentation is one. The problem with running PAGE on the Raspberry is that tcl/tk is not installed in Rasperian and so today I tried building them from source. tcl built and installed with no problem but the tk build failed because the dependency on the libx11-dev package is not available so I am trying to resolve that problem. If I can I will let you know.

I'm running rpi3 with Raspbian stretch OS ( the lastest updates/upgrades, ver 9.3).
I didn't do any sort of lengthy building that I am aware of (never typed the keyword build), at least not recently. I think just a number of sudo apt-gets along the way. I downloaded the install from sourceforge & used the rpi file explorer to extract all the files to a page directory. Then moved over to that directory and used /.configure to get it going. It gave a can't find "wish" error which I got rid of using sudo apt-get install Tk (or perhaps it was tk)
That time configure seemed to work...then using ./page from the installed directory brought it up.
