After changing configure.in, run "autoconf" to reconstruct configure.

Done and committed...please check out the newest cvsup copy and
let us know whether this helps...

In reply to: The Hermit Hacker (#1)

Anyway, the problem is that configure is trying to link a main program
with -ltk8.0, which will fail *even if libtk8.0 is present*. The
reason is that libTk requires both Tcl and the X libraries in order to
link successfully.

I guess this may only be a problem with shared libraries, because this
didn't occur for me when I had the static versions. Sorry about
that. A more complete integration of the solution with my earlier
patch follows. Note that this patch should be applied afer the
earlier one, then autoconf run to reconstruct the configure script.

Hope this works for all.

Cheers,
Brook

Can you provide a patch against the current source tree? This whole thing
has become one big mess, and I no longer know what to back out and what
not to back out...
