    I've used the advanced menu to install software already, but can not locate "Wish" in the package manager. Is there another place I can look for this package?

    The computer comes with tclsh but curiously not wish. I need help finding this package as I'm still a newbie with both linux and this machine.

    Thanks for the help

    Since you already have tcl, you have wish, automatically. I use wish to run tkoutline.tcl from the terminal. You don't need to know its location as it is in the path.

    That's what I thought but it's not the case.

    I get a bash wish command not found.

    tclsh works fine, however. Any ideas where I can get wish. I also want make, rcs and a few other programmer tools.

    I found it. Although tcl is installed by default, TK isn't. Installing TK does the trick.
