Well tclInt.h is internal Tcl stuff (unfortunately still required by XOTcl). Does Fedora have a Tcl source package? Would be in that.

I think Debian is now clever enough to include tclInt.h in the tcl dev package, although naturally the best would be if external packages no longer needed tclInt.h

Dear Kristoffer,

I don't understand your answer : do you mean that there should be no problem at all? But the file tclInt.h does not exist on alexander's disk although he has a tcl dev installed. Is there another source distribution for tcl dev? (sorry if this is not directly related to XOtcl, but is there a way to bypass this problem when compiling XOtcl?)

The file he needs is in the source rpm for tcl, not inside the tcl-dev rpm. It is a header file internal to Tcl and not part of the public API that an extension should use. The tcl-dev rpm probably contains only the public part of the API headers, not the tcl private ones.

This is reasonable, but a problem for extensions integrating very closely with Tcl (like XOTcl, Tk and some others).They can only be built successful against a Tcl build directory, not against an installed Tcl, unless the missing private Header files are put in the appropriate places.

So what he can do to get this to work: 1. Get the Tcl source rpm for his installed Tcl version. 2. unpack it, to get at the source and extract generic/tclInt.h to a location where it can be found by the XOTcl build. 3. Build XOTcl

Hi,

First, thank you all for answering me !

I first try to install the rpm xotcl-1.2.0-0.i386.rpm but fedora return that this was not an available rpm package...? The rpm xotcl-1.1.0-0.i386.rpm is recognized as an available rpm package but was not accepted by fedora.

So, I copy tclInt.h and tclIntDecls.h files from the correponding sources of my distribution to the /usr/include directory and next configure and compile XOTcl without any problem.

Any suggestion on the way to manage my tclInt.h problem ? Does anyone have an rpm for fedora ?

Thanks in advance Alexandre

I know this problem from old RedHat The fastest solution is to get the source (watch proper Tcl Version) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/ unpack (untar) the sources. copy tclInt.h and tclIntDecls.h (I think it is enough) from generic directory into directory there tcl.h ist (I suppose /usr/include) You should compile it without problems.

It is also possible (and easier) to include tclInt.h path by setting env-variable. It this example the is tcl8.3.3 unpacked

export C_INCLUDE_PATH=~/tcl8.3.3/generic ./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib --with-tk=/usr/lib make

If fedora still use 8.3 I suggest to build new tcl/tk 8.4.6 by yourself. It is not so difficult.
