Greetings Wise Ones,

I'm a bit new to this, but have had not trouble installing modules in the past. This time I have been attempting to install Tk-804.027 under cygwin. What I understand from the "README.cygwin" is that I do not need to have xfree installed.

The folowing worked fine: perl Makefile.PL.

The next phase make failed with:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/e/temp/Tk-804.027/Xlib/X'

Clearly it's still including XLib in spite of what the README had to say. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to install xfree? Has anyone else attempted this? Any input would help at this point.

A humble novice
