in thread Using GIS/Shapefiles with Perl Tk Widgets

You seem to have a couple of problems. One is you don't have any OpenGL installed, so you will need to build it without OpenGL. Read the README file on installing, you can use "perl Makefile.PL --with-gl=no"

The second error seems to indicate you are using the old 800 version of Tk, where Zinc wants the latest Tk-804. Now I don't know if you have multiple Tk versions on your system, or what?

    Looking at the Synaptic Package Manager in the Ubuntu Distro searching Tk shows that only tk-8.4 is installed. Any other way I can check to see if Tk is installed?
      #!/usr/bin/perl use Tk; print $Tk::VERSION,"\n"; # 1-liner # perl -mTk -e 'print $Tk::VERSION' # On Windows one needs double quotes. # perl -mTk -e "print $Tk::VERSION"
      But Ubuntu is one of those distros that have had problems with an unpatched Tk version. Try to install Tk with latest patches
