It comes with Red Hat 5.2, so you either have another distribution or it
wasn't installed. If you have Red Hat, you can put the CD in and look at
the RedHat/RPMS directory, for something that looks like tcl-8.0.rpm and
tclx-8.0.rpm . You can then install them with:

rpm -Uvh tcl-8.0.rpm
rpm -Uvh tclx-8.0.rpm

The names may be different on your CD, but they should be
tcl-something.rpm.

The EMC doesn't really need this Tcl thing. It only builds an
experimental Tcl-based shell I was trying out for scripting automatic
tests. I seem to have a problem where I don't test thoroughly enough
between releases.

If you don't want to install the Tcl packages, you can remove "autoemc"
from the list of binaries to build, in the emc/src/emctask/Makefile
file, like this:

BINS = \
...
emcdummy \
autoemc <-- remove this and the backslash on above line

and try the ./compile in the nist/ directory again.
