Hello,

I am trying to run tkdesk (ports from the ports collection). Every time
i start tkdesk it starts fine (telling that its reading, initializing,
creating browser window, creating file browser and so on) but then it 
gives me an error msg box containing this:

Couldn't execute "uptime:Not a directory

If i press "OK" button it exists and then spits out a lots of "codes"
in the xterm window:

Here is what i get after i press "OK"

 couldn't execute "whoami": not a directory
    while executing

Anybody can tell me what can be done to remedi the situation?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
