I haven't built any tcltk package for a while. I think the last one might
have been from a scriptics tarball.
I have tcl and tk (and friends) installed as part of Mandrake 8.0
distribution. When I try to build the tcltk-8.3.3-5mdk.src.rpm package, it
fails pointing to line 148 of bldmanhelp script.
...etc...

Obviously something in my environment is not setup right? I have tcl and tk
(etc.) versions 8.3.2-7mdk installed, and I believe that I have the latest
groff packages:
[root@dell2pe SPECS]# rpm -qa|grep -i groff
groff-gxditview-1.17.1-2mdk
groff-1.17.1-2mdk
groff-perl-1.17.1-2mdk
groff-for-man-1.17.1-2mdk
I'm trying various workarounds, but no luck yet.
Anybody else had this problem? Have a solution?
