If you can write a small program, compile it with "gcc hello.c -o hello.exe"
and run it by typing "hello.exe" or double-clicking on the app icon,
then it got installed OK.  Which version did you install?

My experience with building on W98 has been similar; cygwin has long
had problems with building on W98, and but is reliable with NT.
Oftentimes you can just say "make" again, and it will continue on
from where it stopped.

BTW, your error message is from building tk - did tcl build OK then?

That's fine, that's what it should say.
