I would do this as root: type `perl -MCPAN -e shell` go through the configuration if it prompts you. then type `install Tk` Hope this helps, Rich `bash: undo: command not found`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The machine I had Linux do not have internet connection. I tried as you said to install Tk. But it looks for a tar or gzip file. I think first I have to download the gzip or tar file then I have to take that to Linux machine. Just can you give me a link for gzip file. So that I can copy to a diskette and I will use it on Linux machine. <code> Thanks Ashok <code>	[reply]

If you search CPAN it's all right there. Click on the link, type in "Tk" in the search and hit enter. One of the top links is the Tk bundle. `bash: undo: command not found`	[reply] [d/l]

Try here. Click on the download link the approximately correct thing will happen. Just to be safe, you do know you will need the tcl/tk libs, right? The link I gave you assumes you have the v8 libraries. mikfire	[reply]
