Description of problem: tkAppInit.c is a useful piece of code for building stand alone tk apps, please ship it. It is removed in a section with the comment: # remove buildroot traces But there are no traces of the buildroot in that file. Builds fine with it included. Also, prolog.ps appears to no longer get installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tk-8.5.9-1.fc14
> tkAppInit.c is a useful piece of code for building stand alone tk apps, please > ship it. It makes sense. I suggest packaging it into tk-dev and similary with the tcl-dev package (the tclAppInit.c file). > Also, prolog.ps appears to no longer get installed. Thanks for info, it seems to be deprecated a while ago, so it is useless in spec. Are you OK with the rawhide fix only?
I think F15 as well would be nice. It will hopefully help in fixing the packaging of ds9. Thanks. An issue that has come up though with applications built on tkAppInit and linking to tcl/tk extensions. Since the extension libraries are not installed in the run time linker's path, it seems the app must define rpaths. Have you run across this before? Is there a standard approach to solving this?

AFAIK there are tcl packaging guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Tcl According to it the extension's arch specific libraries should go to %{tcl_sitearch} or %{_libdir} - and both are in linker path. If it is not possible to use these paths, the custom config file should be probably placed into /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ (according to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Alternatives_to_Rpath). When linking internal libraries the rpaths can be used (according to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Rpath_for_Internal_Libraries).
