Thanks Volker That puts me in whole lot stronger position for finding packages now - I discovered pin during this exercise but hadn't heard of susegrep before and I am very pleased to hear of it. In the end I used pbone to locate some rpms and installed them - I have 6 or so of the common repos configured but for some reason can't locate tk-devel there - it may become clear one day.....
