I've read about that suggestion before and that way the system installs everything that configure /could/ use. Frankly, I do not need tcl8.0, tcl8.1 and tcl8.2 in addition to tcl8.3 which I have installed. So, for some configure scripts auto-apt can be useful, but the bigger projects often probe for different incarnations of the same program and normally you would not want to install all of them. In short: Be careful, especially when running ./configure with auto-apt! Greetings Torsten
