I have to install a program but it always fails. When I try package require XXX, it return "can't find package XXX". I have a folder with the setup files in it, among which there is a pkgIndex.tcl, I have been looking online about package and pkgIndex.tcl but I cannot find any clear explanation. All this is a bit confusing for me...

The folder with the pkgIndex file, is that directory in the auto_path?

lappend auto_path /my/folder
package require xyz

See the tutorial chapter on packages and the wiki page http://wiki.tcl.tk/auto_path
