Ive tried a couple Tk and Tcl packages and runnings as root things seem to work. But as a regular user I get this error (with all programs): couldn't create error file for command: Permission denied while executing "exec frm -n | sort -r" ("eval" body line 1) invoked from within "eval "exec $cmdCHKMAIL"" . . . I know this is some kind of permissions problem, but since I installed with pkg_add all permissions *should* have been set correctly (yeah right). Both the permissions on the Tk shell and lib dir are all set correctly. Ive tried tried to "find" any new file that is created while running these scripts as root, but I didnt find any. So what should I do? Thanks, Serge.
