Thanks for the tip.
The explicit error message (for each tcl application) was
Testing front-end tcl
application-specific initialization failed: Can't find a usable itcl.tcl in the
following directories:
/usr/share/tcltk/itcl3.2
/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/examples/../utils/../lib/itcl3.2
/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/examples/../utils/../library
/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/examples/../utils/../../library
/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/examples/../utils/../../itcl/library
/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/examples/../utils/../../../itcl/library
This probably means that Itcl/Tcl weren't installed properly.
If you know where the Itcl library directory was installed,
you can set the environment variable ITCL_LIBRARY to point
to the library directory.
invalid command name "plinit"
invalid command name "plgdev"
invalid command name "plgdev"
invalid command name "plgdev"
invalid command name "plgdev"
I then followed those directions and set
export ITCL_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/itcl3.2
which is the directory where itcl.tcl is installed on Debian testing (and
also debian oldstable, debian stable, and debian unstable). So there is
nothing wrong with the install location. Furthermore, there were no such
problems finding itcl.tcl when I built all the tcl stuff and ctested it on
debian oldstable.
Thus, the likely cause of this problem is that the itcl3 package for Debian
testing has been misconfigured compared to Debian oldstable.
Andrew, what is the Ubuntu story? Do you have the same trouble finding
itcl.tcl there? Or is this strictly a problem limited to certain Debian
distros (not oldstable, maybe stable, definitely testing, and [from Rafael's
and your experience] unstable as well).
