Doesn't tclX actually grab the _source code_ of both the tcl and the tk stuff? If you only have the package loaded, I think it can't possibly work. BTW, I'd like to know if you get it built, and especially if you get it to pass all the tests (it gives me a floating point coredump, but doesn't seem to actually leave a core file around to check). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0R) and n3lxx (301) 220-2114 | (FreeBSD 2.0.5-snap) and am I happy! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
