SUMMARY: Tkined/Scotty Problems

Well, after much ado, I finally got it compiled. Major thanks goes to
Aideen McConville <aideen_at_persimmon.co.uk>. Thanks to everyone else who
offered their assistance as well.

The problem turned out to be multi-faceted.

For reasons that still elude me, the configure script was not generating
the right Makefile. It was putting in a reference to gcc, which I don't
have, and flags for cc that it didn't recognize.

Aideen sent me the Makefile from their site and I made the adjustments to
mine. After doing a 'make distclean' on tcl, tk, and scotty, I was
finally able to get things compiled.

After that, I had problems running the tkined1.4.5 script. Apparently,
installing tcl7.5 and tk4.1 did not overwrite the executables of the older
version that installed with 4.0b. So I had to manually install the
binaries for the newer wish, after which, it ran, but couldn't find the
tkined 1.4 package. This was because the script wasn't using the
auto_path variable, so I actually set it in the tkined1.4.5 script and
then, FINALLY, the thing ran and even worked.

So, I am considerably wiser today then I was when I started this thing,
and I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who assisted me again.
