Don't know what to do with that information, but...

Tried the ./configure --with additions before, and they could not find any
libraries whatsoever.  Just tried the two export items above, before doing
the ./configure, make config and make, and same error came up, as before..
for reference, it is below.

Would that resolv the issue, say over the use of installing a newer
version of the TCL linux fashion?  i.e. extracting archive manually,
./configure ing, make, make install to default source locations?  If so, I
might just do that.
