I sent this mail to the list server, but for some reason it did not  
reach it.

Best regards,

The Internet Tablet 2006 Edition on the Nokia 770 device is not binary
compatible with the 2005 version.
Please also see the comments at
http://www.maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog2006.

Therefore I built tclkit for OS2006. It seemed to run fine, but a
"package require Tk" triggered this
error message: error writing "file4": no space left on device

The Nokia has only 512 free blocks under /tmp and that is not enough to
unpack the
libtk8.5.so which has more then 1MByte.

I changed the tclkit in the following way to work around this problem:
-  removed the itcl and tk package completely from tclkit and store it
under /usr/tcl/lib
- added /usr/tcl/lib to auto_path to access external package s

That seems to work fine.

Please tell me if this the right approach or not. On one side it
violates the rule "just copy to install",
but on the othe side it avoids frequent writes on the memory card (every
tk start writes 1 MB on the flash card).
