How do I build Insight

How do I build Insight

[kamal]

Hi ,

I have downloaded the insight-6.4.tar.bz2 file from redhat website. But my
Linux machine does not have Tcl, Tk, Itcl, and Tix
libraries and I do not have the X11 (R4/R5/R6) installed .

What can I do to build Insight ?


Thanks & Regards
Kamal

Hi,

Insight includes its own copy of Tcl, etc, so you dont need them to be 
already installed.

As for X11 not being installed, given Insight is a gui, it needs a gui 
environment, in this case X11, so unless you install X11, you should 
stick with plain GDB.

Otherwise installing for a local build is as easy as configure; make; 
(and as root) make install;

Is it already possible to keep them separate? I mean, to use the system 
installed libraries?
Or otherwise: install the TCL stuff in one dir and the GDB stuff in 
another dir.
On my system I keep each functionality in a separate subdir 
(toolkits/printing/security/development-tools)

Kind regards,
