Building problems on red hat enterprise linux (rhel)

Hi I just got a new Linux computer at work. I'm much more comfortable
running OS X, where I have alpine comfortably running (and compiling,
when needed).

I figured compiling on Linux would be snap, but I appear to be wrong.
I do the normal jig, download the source, apply some simple patches
that I like, configure --prefix=/usr/local, then make. The make fails
with what appears to be this error:

/bin/sh ../../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -std=gnu99 -
DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../../../include -I../../../include -I/etc/pki/tls/
include -g -g -O2 -MT wpcomm.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/wpcomm.Tpo -c -o
wpcomm.lo wpcomm.c
mkdir .libs
gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../../../include -I../../../include -
I/etc/pki/tls/include -g -g -O2 -MT wpcomm.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/
wpcomm.Tpo -c wpcomm.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/wpcomm.o
wpcomm.c:19:17: error: tcl.h: No such file or directory
wpcomm.c:33: error: expected ')' before '*' token
wpcomm.c:44: error: expected ')' before '*' token
wpcomm.c:68: error: expected ')' before 'clientData'


Any ideas? Thanks!

Install tcl in that computer or run configure as

../configure --without-tcl

See "./configure --help | grep tcl" in case tcl is in a special place in
your system.

Thank you sir. Seems to work now.

Now if I could only figure out why it can't read my remote
configuration file... But that seems to be some other kind of
problem. Once alpine is loaded with a local config, it works fine...

A few things -- is tcl installed? If you're running RedHat you can
try:

yum install tcl
and
yum install tcl-devel

In my reading it looks like tcl is needed for alpine web only...but I
haven't tried a compilet without tcl
