Thank you for your response.
I have taken your addive and used the "perl -MCPAN -e shell" command and then 
executed a install Tk
Howevere, I cpan encountered errors wile making the module.
Im sure it will be hard to tell what is going on with just the error mesg, but 
does anyone have a general isa of what to do?

Here is what I got:


/usr/bin/perl is installed in /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux okay
PPM for perl5.006001
Test Compiling config/signedchar.c
Test Compiling config/Ksprintf.c
Test Compiling config/tod.c
Test Compiling -DTIMEOFDAY_TZ config/tod.c
TZ gettimeofday()
Using -L/usr/X11R6/lib to find /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2
Cannot find X include files via /usr/X11R6/include
Cannot find X include files anywhere at ./myConfig line 312.
Compilation failed in require at Makefile.PL line 17.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 19.
Running make test
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install

This is what line 312 of myConfig looks like:

  unless (defined $xinc)
    {
      warn "Cannot find X include files via $base/include\n";
      $xinc = &IX11(map("$_/include",@xdirs),
                    '/usr/openwin/include',
                    chooseX11(</usr/X11*/include>),
                    chooseX11(</usr/include/X11*>),
                    </usr/Xfree*/include>,
                    '/usr/X386/include',
                    $Config{'usrinc'});
    }

  die "Cannot find X include files anywhere" unless (defined $xinc);

Any help would be greatly apreciated.
