The sourceinstall-fullpack installation procedure tries to detect which software dependencies are already present in the system, and then only builds those which are needed.

It has been reported in two separate mails, that the default tcl8.4 package provided by ubuntu GNU/Linux distribution does not contain the needed tclConfig.sh, so the installation procedure might fail after correctly detecting the tcl interpreter.

The temporary workaround for people experiencing the problem is to either install the additional tcl8.4-dev package (which contains the needed files), or to remove the tcl8.4 package and restart the procedure, so sourceinstall-fullpack can build and install its own tcl version.

A more definitive solution is in progress; the fullpack will be able to detect these situations and work around them. An experimental fix is already in latest CVS.
