    If the first command returns anything other than 1, then Tcl is not threaded. If Tcl is threaded and the version is 8.4 or higher, then installing Tcl from source is optional.

    Retrieve -Tcl 8.4 (or higher).  Download and install Tcl 8.4 +Tcl 8.4 (or higher). Download and install Tcl 8.4 from source

    Note for Debian users: you can apt-get install tcl8.4-dev if you have the right version (stable users will need to add tcl8.4 to their sources.list file as described on the Install Postgres page). You'll have to use /usr/lib/tcl8.4/ instead of /usr/local/lib when you try to find the Tcl libraries, however.

    If you have not installed Tcl already, download the latest Tcl version from Sourceforge

    -Debian:apt-get install tcl8.4 -tcl8.4-dev and proceed to the next step. In that -step, replace --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/ with +Debian:apt-get +install tcl8.4 tcl8.4-dev and proceed to the +next step. In that step, replace --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/ with --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4.
