Ok.

Ok.

Look for libtcl* and libtk* in /usr/lib.  Actually, I suggest trying
ftp://ftp.tcltk.com/pub/blt/BLT2.4f.tar.gz.  It should be less of a
pain to install.  The BLT8-unoff we distribute is now mainly for the
sake of Windows users that want to build from source.

What version of libpng is this?
