Ensure you run it from an X Window display device with the GLX extensions

used to install the <application>Tk</application> library interface
headers used by other packages if they link to the
<application>Tk</application> library.</para>
<para><command>ln -v -sf wish&tk-ver; /usr/bin/wish</command>: This
command is used to create a compatibility symbolic link to the

named <command>wish</command>.</para>
<!-- This is removed per discussion and fairly vigorous testing
<para><command>sed -i -e ... tkConfig.sh</command>: The
<application>Tk</application> package expects that its source tree is
preserved so that packages depending on it for their compilation
can utilize it. This <command>sed</command> removes the references to the
build directory and replaces them with saner system-wide locations.</para>
<para><command>install ...</command>: These commands install the internal
headers into a system-wide location.</para>

symbolic links.</para>
