Greetings,

BRL-CAD is a bit of a pain. It wants tcl/tk 8.5 or 8.6, and can't work
with Debian's itcl because it links with tcl/tk 8.4. But then BRL-CAD
can't work with the Debian tcl/tk 8.5 packages either. I guess we'll
need to wait for itcl 3.3 upstream, but the RC was more than two years
ago...

Also, it took quite a bit of doing to get ADRT to build, and I can't get
it to do anything useful. And it doesn't recognize that I have Java
installed. And the IGES importer crashed on me.

If you can solve these problems, I'd love to help, this looks like a
great package! But I think for now I'm going to leave BRL-CAD and focus
on Salomé...

Cheers,
-Adam
