Last week I installed Ubuntu Gutsy on my laptop. I did a clean install, which went fine. Of course, I needed the Sguil client on it as well. Gutsy has all the required libraries in it’s repositories. Install the following packages:

tcl8.4
tclx8.4
tcllib
tk8.4
iwidgets4

Checking out the Sguil client is easy (make sure you have ‘cvs’ installed):

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@sguil.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sguil login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@sguil.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sguil co sguil

After this the client runs fine on my system.
