Description
I found this out while trying to install some stuff on my new lfs-5.0 box. I used to install tcl/tk as a blfs item and I vaguely remember running into this. Anyway, after make install the following command should be executed to ensure all headers are intalled systemwide. $ install -m 644 {unix,compat,generic}/tcl*.h /usr/include

Tcl is not currently a part of LFS "proper" as it's only installed into the temporary tools location during Ch 5. Therefore TCL is technically still a BLFS package thus making this report invalid.
That aside, those private headers are internal to TCL and are generally not meant for system-wide installation. Some folks prefer to install them system-wide to ease the installation of those packages that need to muck with TCL internals (e.g. Tk, expect).
Just copying the headers may not help since the build directory location is hard coded in the files. The instructions are in BLFS.
