In 9.04 I downloaded & unzipped source code for scid 4.0 (version 3.6.1-2 available in Synaptic is from 2003 or thereabouts & 4.0 was released on 1st September 2009!).
I also installed tcl8.5 & tk8.5 as per installation instructions by sudo apt-get.
I then autoremoved the tcl8.4 & tk8.4 as requested by the system.
I then navigated to the /home/me/Desktop/scid folder where I then typed
sudo ./configure which was successful. At the end of the process, system displayed message saying
The Makefile configured for your system was written.
Now just type "make" to compile Scid.
As instructed I typed in
make
which concatenated a humungous number of files into a single file & then this tried to compile the single file with this result :

make: g++: Command not found
make: *** [src/pgnscid.o] Error 127

Is the compiler or link editor missing or what ?

Hi, have you installed the build-essential package?

sudo apt-get install build-essential This will also install g++ which looks like you could be missing.

Even though it completed when you ran ./cofigure, check the last 10 lines that there were no errors or it complains of missing packages. If there are missing packages you will need to install them before running 'make'.

installed the build-essential package & the make went perfectly.
However when I tried to install scid, the followinw message appeared :

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
tcl8.4 tk8.4
Suggested packages:
tex-chess tclreadline
The following NEW packages will be installed:
scid tcl8.4 tk8.4

tcl8.4 & tk8.4 were removed previously at the system's request when I got the tcl8.5 & tk8.5 ones.
What ???

Hi, again! I just came across this thread, so I figured I'd stop in and say hi. Thanks again for dropping by #ubuntu-beginners-help, and remember if you ever have any other questions you can always swing by, and we'd be glad to help you out :)

Best of luck finding that English bash scripting book, too!
