Hello David

Please use Tcl/Tk 8.4.11, 8.4.6 is very old by now. It does not matter
what version of Tcl the system comes with since Tcl Blend depends
on Tcl being compiled with thread support anyway.

See:

The Tcl Blend configure script does not know how to find the libs it needs
for your JVM layout. See the file tcljava.m4 and the AC_JAVA_JNI_LIBS
function. I know it looks scary, but I need you to take a look at the directory
layout of JVM files on your system, and add some checks that look
for the specific layout to the AC_JAVA_JNI_LIBS method. If you need some
help, please post the results of 'find .' run from the root of the JDK
dir and I will help you get started. Also note that you will need to run the
autogen.sh script after changing the tcljava.m4 to get a new configure script.
