Thanks Jim. That answers a lot of questions. Apparently Fedora 42 is
too close to the cutting edge.
I downloaded the tarball for Img version 2.1 and took a stab at
compiling it. Fail - I do not have a file named tclConfig.SH on my system.
bgee at main2:~/Installs/Img-2.1.0$ ./configure
checking TEA configuration... ok (TEA 3.13)
configure: configuring Img 2.1.0
checking system version... Linux-6.15.9-201.fc42.x86_64
checking for Tcl configuration... configure: error: Can't find Tcl
configuration definitions. Use --with-tcl to specify a directory
containing tclConfig.sh
bgee at main2:~/Installs/Img-2.1.0$ locate tclConfig.sh
bgee at main2:~/Installs/Img-2.1.0$
In the meantime - The workaround I found is working. Eventually someone
will probably do a new tkImg package for Fedora 42.
