Installing PostgreSQL

From
"Donnahoo, George"

I recently tried installing postgresql using a configuration that included
the parameter "--with-tcl".  When I called make, it returned some sort of
error which I don't have handy at the moment.  I reconfigured dropping the
"--with-tcl" and the make worked fine.  I want the "--with-tcl" option so
that I can use the pgaccess.  Is there something additional I need to
download in order to use "--with-tcl" in my configuration, or should it all
be included in the postgresql download?

I could be wrong, but I don't think that you need --with-tcl option to
use pgaccess. The --with-tcl option is more for if you want to do
development using TCL programming. Pgaccess should run no problem. I
didn't do anything special on my machine to get them running together.

And I think TCL-Postgresql development may be somewhat beyond the scope
of this list. :-)

pgaccess does require libpgtcl.so and therefore you must use --with-tcl

You probably need to use --with-tclconfig and --with-tkconfig

              configure \
                ...
                --with-tcl \
                --with-tclconfig=/usr/lib/tcl8.3 \
                --with-tkconfig=/usr/lib/tk8.3 \
                ...

The pathnames on your system are probably different.
