Installation omnetpp at Ubuntu 10.04

[Fengyuan Gong]

Hi, ALL,

I am a new learner of omnetpp. 

I try to install it on Ubuntu 10.04 LTE 64bit.

But during the process of ./configure, there are several errors:

checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

configure: error: Tcl/Tk not found, needed for all GUI parts. Version 8.4.0+ and devel package required. Check config.log for more info!

I have installed tcl and tk with version 8.4+. And also add 

TK_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"

TK_LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -ltk8.4 -ltcl8.4"

into configure.user.

But still not work.

Any advise is appreciated.

Best Regards~

I'm On Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and all works fine.

I just followed the Install guide: http://omnetpp.org/doc/omnetpp41/InstallGuide.pdf

Pratically i gave the comand: 

sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc g++ bison flex perl tcl-dev tk-dev blt libxml2-dev zlib1g-dev openjdk-6-jre doxygen graphviz openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev libpcap-dev

And then compiled omnet++ as usual. No error.
