[Swarm-Support] configure: error: Please specify Tcl header path

[Joerg Krywkow]

Hi,

trying to be as short and precies as possible.
Working on a LINUX 2.4.22 Kernel system (Debian/Knoppix 3.3 installation)
Tcl is installed /usr/lib/tcl8.3  and /usr/lib/tcl8.3
Tried to install swarm-2.1.1.tar.gz:

  ./configure 

I get the following message:

configure: error: Please specify Tcl header path using --with-tcldir or 
--with-tclincludedir

or after typing

        ./configure --with-tcldir=/usr/lib/tcl8.4

I got:

configure: error: Please specify Tcl library path using --with-tcldir

I tried a number of specifications, for example:

        ./configure --with-tcl-header=/usr/lib/tcl8.4
        ./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4
etc. etc.

Unfortunately I still get the error message.
I guess this error is the only obstacle to install SWARM(?).
Any help or a hint would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance
