If i try to compile the tutorial i get this output after running ./configure:

It seems that nobody will answer to our questions !

I have this problem! on Linux Mandriva 2006

" /usr/share/OpenCascade/ros/Linux/bin/DRAWEXE
/usr/share/OpenCascade/ros/Linux/bin/DRAWEXE: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Please answer as soon as possible,
understand that I'm not expert of Linux OS, so I don't know how to set environment variables or something similar.

THANKS,
Best Regards
