[Xcircuit-dev] Something must be missing

[Philip]

I decided to try to complile XCircuit on Debian i386 testing. I
downloaded 3.6.39, untarred it and ran "configure".

It complained about not finding tclConfig.sh. I had alread installed the
package "tcl8.4-dev", so I poked around and found it in
/usr/lib/tkc8.4/. I ran "./configure" again with
"--with-tcl=/usr/lib/tkc8.4/" - this time it complained about not
finding tcConfig.sh. I used aptitude to install the package "tc8.4-dev".
I again ran "./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4" and there were no
errors!

So next was "make" - I didn't see any output that looked like an error,
so I ran "sudo make install". Again, no reported errors.

Thinking I was done, I opened a new xterm and typed in "which xcircuit"
to be sure that I was about to use the freshly compiled one and not the
package install. Yup, it said it would be running
/usr/local/bin/xcircuit. Perfect!

I typed "xcircuit" and after a moment a shell opened. The label in the
window menu bar is "tkcon 2.3" and in the console it says:

error in slave eval:
image type "xpm" doesn't exist
Main console display active (Tcl8.4.12 / Tk8.4.12)
(user) 3 % 

 - but there is no xcircuit!!

Did I miss something? Or skip a step?
