Geoffrey, I should have been more specific in the test I requested. Please use the combination of the environment variables CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH and CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH pointed to the correct locations. As I have just demonstrated, that combination should work fine. And that combination has worked fine since CMake-2.4.x days. Please run the test with no interference from CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH which is something I have not tested. I realize somebody else suggested it in this thread as a possibility, and as far as I can tell from the documentation it _should_ work in the limited case where you have your headers installed in the include directory rather than subdirectories of include. But let's test with a case that I _know_ works for me to give a perfect Tcl/Tk/itcl/itk result. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
