Thanks merlyn, I have a question a bit off topic but as fletch pointed out I should be able to recompile Tk. Here's my question: I never removed the distibution of Perl that shipped with 10.4 I simply installed 5.8.8 from active state and set a s-link to the perl binary. Can I know just download Tk and build it as normal without relying on X11 or do I need to remove the existing version of Tk somehow.
Thanks for the help!
