In order to install a package called PrimerMapper for designing primers on Ubuntu 14.04, I need to install a perl module called Tkx but facing trouble in installing it. So, kindly assist me in resolving this bug.
For your quick and easy reference, I am pasting complete commands of installation. Thanks a lot

Answer 1

The error is that the tests of the module don't pass successfully.
One thing I would try first is to try to install the module with cpan or cpanminus (cpan Tkx or cpanm Tkx). You (or the Makefile.PL) may have missed something that could be causing this error.
I see you already opened a bug report on CPAN. You can see in cpantesters that this module has the tests broken (you could check with your particular Perl version) and there is also another bug report from 5 years ago reporting broken tests for the very same version that's currently on CPAN (1.09).
Considering this I think your options is to skip the tests and see if it works for your purposes.

Answer 2

I recently adopted Tkx and published release 1.10, which allows installation to proceed despite the t/tcl.t test 18 failure.
The test failure appears to have been caused by unexpected but minor changes to error message formatting in newer Tcl.pm. Pending the issue actually being fixed, it is not something which Tkx should abort installation over.

Answer 3

There's already a packaged version of Tkx for Ubuntu, so all it should take to get Tkx and any of its dependencies is:
sudo apt-get install libperl-tkx
