I have to add from RH5.2 thru RH7.2 tkdesk always opened flawlessly.
It is only now with RH7.3 that I have the problem to which I have (foolishly) 
upgraded a few days ago.

Ray, my guess is that is has something to do with the new libraries. How would 
I find out which one. ldd tkdesk gives "not a dynamic executable".
I still have RH6.2 running and could transfer the libraries from there.

If I try to re-./.configure I get error:
checking version of Tcl/Tk... 8.3/8.3

TkDesk requires Tcl/Tk versions 7.5/4.1, 7.6/4.2., or 8.0.
Older versions are unlikely to work, while newer ones are not
yet supported

So I copied Tcl/Tk...8.0 from RH6.2 over to RH7.3 and I still get the same 
error.

There is no core file created.

It's Greek for me.
