I have uploaded new versions of my Tcl/Tk shared libraries for Linux
to sunsite.unc.edu.  See the LSM entries below for the exact file
names and locations.  Here is the summary of changes from the previous
versions:

  Shared library support is now integrated into the normal Makefiles
  (i.e. no more make.* shell scripts).  In most cases, "make install"
  does everything.  TclX requires a couple of extra steps because of
  its need to use itself in the installation process.

  The installation directory can be chosen using the --prefix option
  when running configure.  My pre-compiled versions were configured
  for /usr/local.  Linux distributors should recompile using /usr or
  /usr/contrib.

  The manual pages for Tcl commands have been moved to section 3.
  Additionally all manual pages have an extension identifying the
  package they belong to.  For example, the manual page for Tk's 
  canvas command is in $(prefix)/man/man3/canvas.3tk.

  Tk has had two unofficial patches applied.  These fix some problems
  uncovered by tkmail (a mail user agent based on Tk).  Extended Tcl
  has been updated to version 7.3b, [incr Tcl] to version 1.5 and BLT
  to version 1.7.

Here are the relevant LSM entries:
