Summary: tcl private headers should not be removed
Product: Beyond LinuxFromScratch
Version: d-6.1

Following 'make install' the book recommends a series of additional steps so
that the Tcl build directory can be removed after installation.
Specifically it recommends 'rm -v -f /usr/include/tcl${V}/generic/
{tcl,tclDecls,tclPlatDecls}.h' but these files should remain because Expect
needs them during configuration if '--with-tclinclude=/usr/include/tcl8.4' is
specified as the book recommends in that chapter.
To see the bug, delete directory /usr/include/tcl8.4 then build Tcl as
instructed then build Expect as instructed. Expect will complain during
configuration because the headers are missing.
To correct, delete /usr/include/tcl8.4 then build Tcl without removing the
files then build Expect as instructed. No complaint because the headers are
present.
This may affect other packages, besides Expect, as well. I may file a similar
report against package Tk because it also recommends removing similar headers.
