It should be without a space, for the record.

Svxedit is implemented using Tcl/Tk, so if you don't have that
installed, you won't be able to run it.  You can either install Tcl/Tk,
or just use your favourite text editor to enter survey data.  Svxedit
isn't hugely popular from the feedback I've had.

Can you run cavern (using ./cavern)?  If not, that's going to be more
of a problem for you (and if you can it points the finger strongly at
a missing or broken Tcl/Tk installation.
