This is an issue very similar in nature to "rpath pointing to a build directory", which, according to Debian policy, is a critical bug, for exactly the same reason (injection of arbitrary code if the username matches or if someone builds in a subdirectory of /tmp, just by creating files there). But you are right that it isn't as critical for this script, as TCL_??_SEARCH_FLAGS only matter when building TCL extensions. > Apparently you don't have Tcl or Tk installed or you would have > looked at the two files and seen how well commented they are. > There is an explanation for each of them. You are right. But now I have TCL installed according to the book, and even looked at Debian's buildscript. Instead of post-processing the installed file, they patch unix/tclConfig.sh.in. I will now build TCL according to Ag's correction and according to Debian scripts, and compare the results. The test will be "tclreadline doesn't fail to build". BTW, since you made me look into Debian's buildscript, please also see http://bugs.debian.org/446335 (TCL-related miscompilation that, according to the report, manifests itself with the OMNeT++ package from http://www.omnetpp.org/). I don't know whether it is valid even on Debian, but it caught my eye in the Debian changelog. -- Alexander E.
