make doesn't work due to problems with Tcl configuration while running configure



$ time ( ./configure --prefix="${_PRFX}" --exec-prefix="${_PRFX_ARCH}" ) > "configure_${_LOG_SFX}" 2>&1


$ tail -n 10 "configure_${_LOG_SFX}"

Also, I see two Makefile files in there but with extensions

Hello Albretch.

I would suggest that you try the following. Since you did not tell your Knoppix version tcl and tk versions may differ.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t testing install tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev
./configure --with-tk=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/tk8.6 --with-tcl=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/tcl8.6
