TkDesk Installation

Binary Packages

If you're planning to use a package containing dynamically linked binaries make sure you got Tcl/Tk installed on your system (preferred versions are 8.0 or better, but 7.5/4.1 and 7.6/4.2 will do as well).
Download both the "common" package and one of the binary packages.
Go into the directory that you want to be the base directory for TkDesk, e.g. "/usr/local".
Extract both tar files using a command like: "gzip -cd file | tar xvf -"
If you didn't use "/usr/local" as the base directory, set the TKDESK_LIBRARY environment variable to point to the complete path of the TkDesk directory created by extracting the "common" tar file. You may also have to edit the file bin/tkdesk and replace "/usr/local" in lines 3 and 6 with the path of your base directory.
Now you should be all set. Make sure base-dir/bin is in your PATH and run "tkdesk".
