Please note that Scriptics no longer exists. You probably
got the link from http://www.tcl.tk/, but more specifically
you will find ActiveTcl at
        http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActiveTcl

You will also find a linux version there, which will solve
your problems. You could also go with a better distro that
has better support for Tcl packages. SuSE certainly has
top-notch support, and I think debian has a good package
depth for Tcl.

I personally have no problems wrapping Iwidgets with TclApp,
which is starkit-based.
