bltwish isn't installed "by policy" on other linux strains as well. They have to go to the trouble to take it out of the package, which seems asinine to me. (I offered this observation to the blt maintainer on ubuntu in my usual cheerful and optimistic way, but the suggestion to include it was rejected as if I had suggested implanting a dog's pancreas in his first-born child).

Since blt also won't play nicely with tcl/tk 8.5.X (you have to hack it), I wonder if it might be time to migrate to something else for the graphing functions (which won't work with the symbolic link described below)

> No shells: Very few Tcl extension packages provide a shell. Providing a shell for an extension is frowned upon. The extension's shared library can be dynamically loaded into a Tcl interpreter through the standard package require ... mechanism without providing a shell that automatically loads the shared library. The exceptions to this rule are the shells that are commonly expected to be present on a system, including Tk (wish) and Expect (expect, expectk).
