wish is part of the Tk/TCL Gui toolkit.

 

You can download Tk 8.5 from SunFreeware.com or Blastwave.org has version 8.4 and 8.5 available.

Sun Freeware example

 

Download all required packages

xft, xrender, expat, fontconfig, libiconv, libintl, freetype, zlib, gcc-3.4.6, tk

 

As root

decompress packages

$ gzip -d

Add package

$ pkgadd -d

 

 

Eg.

$ gzip -d xft-2.1.2-sol10-intel-local.gz

$ pkgadd -d xft-2.1.2-sol10-intel-local

 

 

Files get installed in /usr/local/bin

 

Alternative use Blastwave which downloads files and dependences automatically. How to found here.
