Installation: failing the tests

[Chris Oei]

I had the same problem when I tried to build it on Ubuntu 8.04.  First, you
have to make sure that you have tcl/tk installed (sudo apt-get install
tcl-dev), and then you'll have to tell the compiler where the tcl headers
and libraries are, since the Makefile doesn't look in the right place for
Ubuntu 8.04 distros.

Something like

   ADDITIONAL_INCLUDES = -I/usr/include/tcl8.4

ought to do it.  There's probably other little tweaks I had to do (it's been
a while), so if you want to download my tarball-ed build (so you can compare
it with your setup and see the diffs), just let me know.

Best of luck,
Chris
