Compiling is not for beginners....suggest you install tk8.5 from the software center or,faster,open terminal and paste in:


sudo apt-get install tk8.5


...and welcome to UF!

untar your software
cd to that folder
run this


./configure

make

sudo make install

Op had to navigate to the "Unix" folder inside the untared tk8.5 folder
to compile it for Unix/Linux ...there is also a README which shows how to compile.

Thank you guys for the prompt response!

The sudo apt-get worked.

i tried previously to my original posting ./configure (inside the tk folder) with negative results

Cheers
