FW: Can't get SID to build - tk error

I have been told that I need to install Tcl/Tk 8.4. However, as far as I can
see, a complete source tree of Tcl/Tk 8.4 is included in SID. So surely I
don't need to install it as well?

Therefore I assume there is still some error in the scripts. I have pored
over them and tried adding 8.4 to tix/unix/Makefile.in (as the error was in
the tix area) and reconfigured from scratch but it made no difference. Any
assistance would be much appreciated.

I am also having problems getting the latest version of SID to build (CVS
version updated 30 Jan 2003 @ 1745 GMT).

Environment:

SuSE Linux version 2.4.4-4GB
Tcl version 8.3
gcc version 2.95.3

I have created the following directory structure:

sid-cvs/src/<CVS source>
sid-cvs/build

I have applied the patch given in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/sid/2003-q1/msg00017.html

In sid-cvs/build I do:

../src/configure --prefix=/opt/sid --exec-prefix=/opt/sid 2>&1 | tee
configure.out

Then I do:

make all install 2>&1 | tee make.out

I get the following error:

Also, I don't quite understand what you mean here:

>Aha.  sid makes reference to outside sibling directories like opcodes,
>libiberty.  It's necessary to run the configure at the top (src/configure).

Can you help?
