Trying tclreadline.

Installing `eltclsh' on Ubuntu, the short version:
sudo apt-get install build-essential tcl8.4-dev tk8.4-dev libedit-dev checkinstall ./configure make checkinstall
Installing `eltclsh' on Ubuntu, the long version:
# To prevent configure error: C compiler cannot create executables
sudo apt-get install build-essential

sudo apt-get install tcl8.4-dev
# To prevent configure error: ./configure: line 20724: /tkConfig.sh: No such file or directory

Why is keyboard entry in Tcl so crude:
So I should try eltclsh? Freshmeat.net lags behind with version 1.5. Main site provides version 1.6.
Trying to install editline.
configure: error: no relevant library found containing tgetent
Installed termcap-2.0.8. Still error.
Installed ncurses-devel-5.4. Ah, this fixes the error.
Trying to install eltclsh-1.6. Configure error:
checking for tclConfig.sh... not found (fatal) Please use --with-tcl to specify a valid path to your tclConfig.sh file
Installed tcl-devel-8.4.11. Fixes error. Next configure error:
checking for tcl library... /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so ./configure: line 21722: /tkConfig.sh: No such file or directory
Installed tk-devel-8.4.11. Fixes error. Make error:
In file included from elwish.c:36: /usr/include/tk.h:96:23: error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
Installed xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2. Fixes error.
