I have a piece of software that requires tcl, tcl and tk at the same version.
I tried with latest tcl & tk from macports but it is not working.
I managed to compile tcl from source code no problem but tk fails with the
error message
d: library not found for -lX11
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Makefile:406: recipe for target 'libtk8.4.dylib' failed
gmake: *** [libtk8.4.dylib] Error 1
configure for tk
./configure --prefix=/Users/usr --with-x --x-includes=/opt/X11/include
--x-libraries=/opt/X11/lib
