Yeah, sorry. :-/ (I'm having some issues with the autoconfiscation,
which aren't hard to work around, I just haven't had the time. I
should stop taking classes.)

The Debian build of xcircuit doesn't use the Tcl wrapper, but it does
use the Python wrapper. If neither of these mean anything to you, you
probably don't need either.

It looks like this falls out of the Tcl wrappers. Digging through the
Makefile.am, you might want to run 'make tcl' before running the main
'make'.
Good luck...(and do let me know if you find the Tcl wrapper useful...)
