Hello, my name is Emiliano and just suscribed today. I'm somewhat involved
from some time ago with the tcl community. So this is my 0.02c to this
subject:

>chat/tkabber doesn't work with tk-8.4.18 under Linux.

I bet your'e using gentoo or some other bleeding edge distro.
This problem will hit netbsd Xorg users when the packages upgrades to
the latest version.

Agree with this. I routinely configure, build and install tcl and tk 8.5+ on
my netbsd box, and they work out of the box, no patches required.

Here's a short list of additional packages I build and works smoothly. some
are already in pkgsrc, some not:

Img1.3
Tix8.4.3
Tktable2.9
Tkzinc3.3.4
gpgme-1.01
itcl3.4
itk3.4
snack2.2
sqlite3.5.6
tktray1.1
tls1.50
treectrl2.2.5
udp1.0.8
