Compiling xcircuit

["Sridhar M.A." <mas@uomphysics.net>]

I am trying to compile the latest version of xcircuit as the version in
the unstable is also a bit dated. I have detailed below the steps I took
for the compilation:

1. ./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4 --with-tk=/usr/lib/tk8.4

      Got the Makefile without any errors. config.log too does not have
      any error messages or `missing' lines.

2. make
   
      Compilation is fine, but got into problems at the linking stage.
      The error I get is this:

I could not find files xcinterp or consoleinterp. Checked the same at
packages.debian.org with null result. Which package contains those files
allowing me to compile xcircuit?
