It is provided for building the package again in the same context that it was originally built in. You can't change variables like the versions of libraries used and not expect minor differences; if you used the version of the Cygwin library that was current in Feb 2006 at the time the package was created it would build OOTB. > You mean in the setup, I install the latest version of the gnu debugger > and that will allow tcl to build out of the box?

The packages are related in that the tcltk package is the specific copy of tcl/tk that is bundled with the insight source tree, not a general purpose "tcl/tk in its own right" -- it exists for the sole purpose of supporting insight. Insight is packaged with gdb, as it's really just an enhanced version of gdb. But I had incorrectly assumed that since these two packages are related that with the new gdb release there would be a corresponding new tcltk release, but I now see that is not the case and the old 20060202 version of tcltk remains current despite insight being updated to 6.8-2.
