How about something like:
(d) Type "make install" to install scotty and tkined binaries, modules
and script files in standard places. You'll need write permission
on the installation directories to do this. <insert text>To install
in the default locations (under /usr/local) this will normally mean you
have to be root. If you are not installing as root you will need to
specify installation directories for which you have write permission.
</insert> The installation
directories are determined by the "configure" script and may be
specified with the --prefix and --exec-prefix options to "configure".
See the Makefile for information on what directories were chosen; you
can override these choices by modifying the "prefix" and "exec-prefix"
variables in the Makefile.

Sorry, I (mis)read it as an existing line to alter -- then when I looked
at init.tcl it looked very no-user-serviceable-parts-inside so I backed
off and modified my environment instead!

No, but I changed my dot files to
setenv TCLLIBPATH "/usr/local/lib/tnm2.1.9 /usr/local/lib/tkined1.4.9"
as per the unix/README

Mostly: there are odd things like /usr/local/lib/tkined1.4.9/apps/tclIndex
being unreadable. I've mostly left file permissions as they were after I
did 'make install' (as root) as that's how I assumed you'd intended them
to be. I changed a couple to get tkined working (sort of) as I mentioned
in an earlier post. I'll try changing everything to be readable ...
... and voila! it works!!
(chmod -R a+rX /usr/local/lib/*)
Thanks Juergen (and everyone else)
