[xcrysden] Trouble installing, running

[Gavin Abo]

You can try [ http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=203254 ]:

yum install tk-devel

However, the version of tk that it installs might change depending on 
what version of Fedora you have.  So if it installs a version other than 
8.5, the fedora forum is likely the best place to search or ask on how 
to install the 8.5 version.  An alternative to using 8.5 would be to try 
to compile xcrysden for the tk version that it installs, and the 
information at the following links might be helpful:
