Thanks. Indeed, you MUST choose manconf to get out of the loop. Things 
seem to be progressing ok now, but while tcltk-8.3.3 tries to build,  a 
question pops up: what if you had already installed Apple's Tcl-Tk 8.4a4 
distribution ?

As I see it, when 8.3.3 finishes building, I'll have two choices: 
version 8.3.3 if I run wish via Terminal, thanks to the default  Fink 
PATH or 8.4a4 if I run via the GUI Wish that gets installed with Apple's 
distribution in the Applications directory. I'll have to experiment and 
see if there aren't any conflicts or better yet uninstall the Apple 
distribution. Anyway, this seems like a potential gotcha that the Fink 
TCL installer might check just in case.
