If you try to build tk tools, they make you remove all traces of all versions of these. Then other things break. I never understood any of this. Seems like there is no cross version compatability, like tkman will run with wish 8.0, but not wish 8.1, I do not know what build wish 8.0 (with some custom features, of course). I tried to build/install tcl80 and tk80 but that does not impress anyone. ---------- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Shimon@Simon-Shapiro.ORG Voice: 503.799.2313 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
