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

$ ls -l Mak*
-rw-r--r-- 1 knoppix knoppix   114 Dec 18  2006 Makefile.am 
-rw-r--r-- 1 knoppix knoppix 18253 Jan 20  2007 Makefile.in

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
