Didn't get much time but tried it again this weekend with latest CVS 
HEAD. Seems like quite a bit has changed, not sure. Anyhow, when I 
configure like this in my usual way:

../insight_sources/configure -v --quiet --prefix=$PREFIX \
   --target=$TARGET --enable-interwork --enable-multilib \
   --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as --with-tcl=/usr/lib64 \
   --with-tk=/usr/lib64 \
   --disable-werror --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu

I get errors when configuring itcl:

mkdir -p -- ./itcl
Configuring in ./itcl
config.status: WARNING:  ../../../insight_sources/itcl/itcl/Makefile.in 
seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
configure: WARNING: Found Makefile - using build library specs for itcl
config.status: WARNING:  ../../../insight_sources/itcl/itk/Makefile.in 
seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
configure: error: Can't find Itcl source.  Use --with-itcl to specify 
the the toplevel incr Tcl directory on your system.  (This directory 
should contain itcl/library/itcl.tcl, itk/library/itk.tcl, and 
config/mkinstalldirs.)
configure: error: ../../../insight_sources/itcl/iwidgets/configure 
failed for iwidgets
make[1]: *** [configure-itcl] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gene/addons/insight-cvs/insight_build'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Tried to add --with-itcl=/usr/lib64 and --with-itk=/usr/lib64 with the 
same result.

Any idea what this could be? Have all the tcl/tk/itcl/itk runtime and 
dev packages installed. Also, everything for iwidgets intalled. This 
step worked with the previous HEAD version that I got a couple weeks 
ago. Do I need source code for itcl?
