Where/how did you find that? Googling for tcl8.5 lenny lead me to http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=tcl8.5 which itself leads to http://packages.debian.org/lenny/tcl8.5 suggesting that a simple sudo apt-get install tcl8.5 tk8.5 would do the trick. Grain of salt alert as I don't run lenny. Cheers, StillNotDuncan | | Well, I could always try installing R-2.10, which I could be | happy with.
