Re: [omnetpp] The BLT Tcl/Tk extension is required by this program

[Anna Förster <anna.egorova.foerster at xxx>]

I had the same problem on my machine (linux) and - very interesting -  
omnet actually compiles fine and runs fine .. :-) try this before  
installing another version of tcl/tk .

maybe it is a problem of the configure script?
