Great! We really appreciate you help getting SN
packaged up for debian. You are going to run into
the old Tcl/Tk version problems, but I am sure you
already know about that. SN is going to be easier
to get working with Tcl/Tk 8.3.2
(when compared to insight), but it is work
that still needs to be done and tested on all
the platforms we support.

Could this be a problem related to passing prefix=$(installdir) to
the make install goal? I doubt we have tested that. We know it
works when you run ./configure with a --prefix argument, but
that is the only way it is currently "supported".
