This package is tested, but for any reason not working on your system, I don't
know why.

Yes, there is hope. But before proceeding it's better (although not a must) to
install the newest repository version, because I cannot support the quite old
public preview version. Install package "subversion" and now do:
svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/scidb/code/trunk scidb-code
cd scidb-code
tclsh8.6 ./configure
make
make install
"make install" only works if you have root permissions.
About the problem with "./configure": this error happens if the Tcl
version is older than 8.5, e.g. 8.4. Although the configure script is
searching for 8.5 or 8.6, for any reason it gets the version 8.4. The command
line "tclsh8.6 ./configure" is forcing the use of version 8.6, so far as I see
it is installed on your system. Hopefully this works. If not then I have to
look for another solution. And please send me the result of the following
commands:
echo "puts [info patchlevel]" | tclsh8.6
echo "puts [info patchlevel]" | tclsh8.5
echo "puts [info patchlevel]" | tclsh
probably I can see why this problem with the wrong Tcl version has occurred.
Please be patient, the installation process is working on most systems, but
I don't know about the problems on any system, and it is not yet water-
proofed.
Cheers,
Gregor
