Ubuntu – How to install Insight debugger

10.10debugginginstallation

I am following along a book in which Insight debugger is required. I didn't find it on my Maverick. I googled and I found that it's not supported in debian anymore but I really need to install it. I tried to compile the source and it installed but keep telling me that tk is missing whenever i start it. I installed tk with sudo aptitude install tk then tried to run again it's the same. I compiled it one more time and nothing really changes. So please how can I install that ?

Update: This is the message i get

Tk_Init failed: Can't find a usable tk.tcl in the following directories:

    invoked from within

This probably means that tk wasn't installed properly.
