[Magic-dev] Xcircuit: seg fault on OS X 10.4

'fink' is a package-manager for Mac OS X, and contains thousands of open
source packages including Tck/Tk.

http://fink.sourceforge.net/

After you install it, you can run:

fink install tcltk

By default fink-managed installations (including itself) reside in the
/sw tree.

Direct 'configure' to look for Tck/Tk there instead of the default.
(something like: --with-tcl=/sw)
