[MACTCL] Using Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X 10.4.11

[daphna <da...@gm...>]

I am a very new mac user and tried to install Tcl/tk kit on my computer using
: 
 
tar -zxvpf Tk-804.027.tar.gz
cd Tk-804.027
perl Makefile.PL

I received the following error msg

Cannot find X include files via /usr/X11R6/include

Can some one help?

You need both the OS X X11 package installed as well as Xcode to  
build a default tcl/tk package for OS X.

Have you considered using one of the pre-rolled packages?

The sources you have downloaded appear to be the Perl/Tk Tk-only module 
sources.  This is not the newer Tcl/Tk integration with Perl, if that is 
what you were looking for.  Either way, the easiest thing to do is get 
either ActiveTcl (for pure Tcl/Tk) or ActivePerl (which includes Tkx, 
the new Tcl/Tk binding for Perl) at:

Doesn't OS X 10.4 come with Tcl and Tk pre-installed?

The contents of the question indicated it wasn't straight Tcl/Tk that 
the user was trying to use.  Otherwise the answer is yes, it comes with 
Tcl/Tk (tclsh/wish) preinstalled (although an older version).
