Scid Under LInux Ubuntu

Post by menniepals »

I have been trying to run the latest Scid under Ubuntu but everytime, I get a problem. I had installed tcl and tk but it whenever I try to compile it, it says I don't have tk.h and tcl.h installed. How do I install these programs. Regards, Alfred

Make sure that these four packages are all installed:

tk8.4
tk8.4-dev
tcl8.4
tcl8.4-dev

Then you should be able to compile it (after installing g++ if you have not already done that) with:

./configure
make

Good luck and enjoy SCID!
