The file name is tclConfig.sh, not tclConf.sh.

Tell those Digital Unix guys (aren't you working for Digital?) that
they do a great job by pre-installing Tcl on their OS and that they
can do an award winning good job by also installing the configuration
files that usually go with it. ;-)

Your interpretation is correct. You can use this option to supply the
path to the directory where configure script should pick up the
tclConfig.sh file.

Giovanni> Any help really appreciated.

The obvious work around to get things running is to compile your own
Tcl/Tk interpreter. This is usually as easy as typing configure, make
and make install. (The latest version is 8.0.3 but this version does
not work with scotty due to a bug in the latest Tcl release.)
