*** No rule to make... libtk8.0.a ???

[Rob Faulds]

Hello,

I'm an abject newbie on Insight and I can't get it to build on a i686
Red Hat 7.1 system.  I searched the archive but couldn't find a similar
problem/patch.

	arlborosw(root)$ uname -a
	Linux arlborosw 2.4.2-2 #1 Sun Apr 8 20:41:30 EDT 2001 i686
unknown

	arlborosw(root)$ cat /etc/issue

	Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf)
	Kernel 2.4.2-2 on an i686

I grabbed the insight-5.1.1 .gz and exploded it into an insight-5.1.1
directory.
I made a parallel directory (mkdir insight-i686) for the build objects.
I changed dirs to the insight-i686 dir and tried tp populate it with...
   ../insight-5.1.1/confgure
   make install

It BOMBS trying to make some tk 8.0 library archive (see below).

I tried to install (rpm-i) the tk-8.3.1-53.i386.rpm but was informed
that it was up-to-date.

What should I try next?                Thanks, -Rob

You must presently use the versions of tcl, tk, itcl, and tix that are
included in the tarball. Therefore, I would not recommend installing
Insight with --prefix=/usr, since this will conflict with the versions of
tcl, tk, etc that may be installed on your system. I normally install
Insight in /usr/local.

As for your build problem, try running make and then make install. I have
downloaded the tarball and verified that this works on my Red Hat 7.0
machine.
