Hello Simon:

Thank you for your prompt reply. I tried that, but I do not know what to
install. e.g., if I do

% apt-cache search tk8
bottlerocket - Utility to control X10 Firecracker devices for home automation
libpurple0 - multi-protocol instant messaging library

which does not seem likely. If I search for just tk I get hundreds of 
packages (tk8.5 returns nothing). Using a package manager I do not 
see any package in 12.04 which looks like a tcl/tk library. I do, 
however, see many ancillary packages, like tix-dev. (I tried a 
build-dep on this package, but that did not work either) 

Do you know if I need an entry in my sources.list to point to a new 
repository for this package?

Thanks,
kc
