I'm trying to poart a small python application to FreeBSD from linux

when I run configure for it I get:

loading cache ./config.cache
checking for Tcl configuration... configure: warning: Can't find Tcl
configuration definitions
I don't know this module. Hmm, I hope it only wants tcl to do some
precompile scripting not statically in the module. You do have tcl and
tk installed? You might have to change some paths in the config script
and Makefile.
Yes, probably several versions as required by various ports.
Dosen't FreeBSD put the tki/tcl stuff in some non-stnadard places to allow
for having more than one version installed at once? Might this be part of
the problem?
A brief primer on the general python module installation mthodology
would be useful as well. I'm mainly a perl type, so python is a new
fronteir for me.
Usually a module or package of modules go into
/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/somedir. This is python
convention, not FreeBSD's.
Thnaks. Perl has a very structured way of doing the installation of modules
for it. I was assuming that python would have at least a subset of this.
Are python modules typically compiled binaries (as this one is) or are thet
more typucally python code itself (as in perl modules)?

(who likes messing with python but isn't an expert)
I'm a bit of a perl hacker, but, other thna jusy using things installed by,
for instnace, the ports mechanisim, this is my firs foray intot python.
Thanks for the help.
