How to install packages in tcl?

I have install tcl using pacman -S. My question is how do I manually install third party packages in tcl. Normally they come with the pkgIndex.tcl file but I am unsure of where to put it.

Thank you

If you want them system wide then you should wrap them in a PKGBUILD.

Re: How to install packages in tcl?

I got a better slick idea. How about installing it onto a dropbox folder and keep all your tcl libraries and packages there. Then you just need to add this line onto the tcl file:

set auto_path [linsert $auto_path 0 ~/Dropbox/tcl/lib]

That way if you need to re-install your system you are good to go, without thinking about the AUR packages.
