Hi,

tcl is already installed on my system:

$ sudo apt-get install tcl
[sudo] password for ionyiah:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
tcl is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

$ make test
cd src && make test
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ionyiah/Downloads/redis-2.2.11/src'
(cd ..; tclsh8.5 tests/test_helper.tcl --tags "" --file "")
/bin/sh: tclsh8.5: not found
make[1]: *** [test] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ionyiah/Downloads/redis-2.2.11/src'
make: *** [test] Error 2

Furthermore, if it is a dependency (even an optional one), should it not say
so on the download page?

Thanks.

You have to apt-get tlcsh aswell.

sudo apt-get install tcl8.5 -- should do the trick.
