HI Tim
Yes, I downloaded the Tk.zip file from ActiveState not CPAN and got
this error.
Thanks

Hey Bill,
Tuesday, July 03, 2001, 10:05:47 AM, my MUA believes you used
Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) to write:

May seem like a silly question, but did the package you got from CPAN
have a Tk.ppd file? I don't recall seeing .ppd files in downloads
from CPAN. I usually just run PPM to get precompiled packages from
ActiveState...
ppm
search tk
install Tk <--"the package from the returned list you want to install"
