I would suggest that you check out the version in svn
and build it yourself using the autotools based scripts

svn co http:
//svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tcl/rivet/trunk rivet

A typical build starting from a fresh working copy could be

aclocal
autoreconf
./configure --with-apache=/usr --with-apache-version=1
--with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4

there are more parameters for specifying where libapr
headers
reside and where your apxs binary is located. Rivet works
with tcl 8.4, but I can't think of fundamental
incompatibilities
with 8.5 (David am i getting it wrong?)

Sorry, I overlook to mention the 2 easy lines of the build
process

make
make install
