Command was 

sudo auto-apt run ./configure

Error message:

DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS"
    Location of "tcl.h": /usr/include/tcl8.6
    Location of "tk.h": /usr/include/tcl8.6

    Location of Tk 8.6 library: not found
    Location of X11 library: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
    Checking if your system already has zlib installed: yes.

Not all settings could be determined! See above for details.

The default Makefile was written.
You will need to edit it before you can compile Scid.

I also can't find the libraries. How do I overcome this?

  • Searching for tcl.h shows the package is tcl8.6-dev, and correspondingly,tk8.6-dev for tk.h. – muru Jan 24 '17 at 07:11
  • Thanks muru, but it isn't clear to me whether or not this answers my question, or I am just obtuse. – Rob Jan 24 '17 at 09:24
  • but those packages are installed? And those files were found according to the messages, the other two files were not. – Rob Jan 24 '17 at 09:39
  • I'm telling you that tc18.6-dev and tk18.6-dev are both installed. Both tcl.h and tk.h were found as I read the messages I posted. the query lines are Location of Tcl 8.6 library: not found Location of Tk 8.6 library: not found. – Rob Jan 24 '17 at 09:54
  • What is the software that you're compiling here? – muru Jan 24 '17 at 10:11
  • It is the scid_vs_pc-4.9 software downloaded from sourceforge as scid_vs_pc-4.9.tgz – Rob Jan 24 '17 at 10:15
  • Then I cannot reproduce your error. I installed tk8.6-dev, tcl8.6-dev, and my output is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23857026/ – muru Jan 24 '17 at 10:26
  • Well, I'll have another go. Thank you very much for the trouble you have taken. Really appreciated. – Rob Jan 24 '17 at 10:34

Problem solved by using the latest package scid_vs_pc-4.17 instead of scid_vs_pc-4.9
