Software Dependencies Conflicts
Question: What do you do when you have a software dependency conflict?

Case in point, according to Freeware for Solaris, before one can install
tcl, tk must be installed first. And then when I go to investigate dependencies for tk, it says that tcl must be installed first!!!

Its like which came first the chicken or the egg? Help!

Strange; Tk depends on tcl, and this is what sunfreeware says:
Quote:
# tcl-8.5a4-sol10-sparc-local.gz Tcl, the tool command language. You will need to install libgcc if you have not installed gcc or libgcc before. You will also likely need to install Tk - installs in /usr/local.
# tcl-8.5a4.tar.gz Source Code.
It does not suggest a dependency on Tk, in any case with these packages the order of installation is not important, as long as the files are there at runtime.

reborg,

sunfreeware says this about tk:

"tk-8.5a4-sol10-x86-local.gz Tk, the X11 toolkit written in Tcl which you will need to install also. You will need to install libgcc if you have not installed gcc or libgcc before - installs in /usr/local."

I didn't think a package would properly install unless all of its depenency packages were installed previously. Am I operating under a misconception or missing something here? Thanks for your feedback!
