I like to have a unix/ build of Tcl/Tk on my MacOS X box so I can see how my application looks to unix users. In other words, I build tcl/tk from source as if for vanilla unix and it ends up in usr/local and talks to Apple's X11. (This is entirely separate from an aqua framework build, which I also have.)

Normally this has worked flawlessly, but for some reason I'm having trouble installing tcl/tk8.4.6.

The first problem I ran into was that make failed. It turns out it got unhappy because the path to the source contained a space. Trying again after removing the space fixed the problem (but showed up a more serious problem that I reported separately).

[rowen:for X11/tcl8.4.6/unix] rowen% ./configure
...
[rowen:for X11/tcl8.4.6/unix] rowen% make
make: *** No rule to make target `/Archives•/PythonPackages/for', needed by `Makefile'. Stop.
[rowen:for X11/tcl8.4.6/unix] rowen% pwd
/Archives•/PythonPackages/for X11/tcl8.4.6/unix
