I have just committed (revision 8130) the first try at running your test with CMake (although you could have done that yourself... :-)). Let me know whether it automatically sets HAVE_TCL_GT 84 properly for you. Note, FindTclsh.cmake looks for tclsh before it tries the versioned forms, and I think this is the correct behaviour, but that causes a problem on Debian testing because for some strange reason their tcl 8.5 package installs tclsh8.5, but does not symlink tclsh to that version. Instead, the tclsh symlink still refers to the 8.4 version. I think this has something to do with the policy that 8.4 is still the default version for Debian testing, but it leads to a potentially nasty version inconsistency if you are trying 8.5, and I am still trying to figure out the cleanest way to avoid this mess. Can some Debian expert here let me know the best way to modify the /etc/alternatives system that is supposed to deal with such issues? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
