Lovell) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: Problems with Tk binary installation. Date: 30 Dec 1994 04:17:14 GMT Organization: University of Tasmania, Australia. Lines: 25 Message-ID: <3e01ka$7p0@franklin.cc.utas.edu.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: tasman.cc.utas.edu.au Hi, I'm running version 2.0 on my PC and have been having trouble getting Tk to work. Whenever I try to execute a Tk application such as wish I get the following message: Tcl_AppInit failed: can't read "tk_library": no such variable % I've read the man pages and they say that setting the environment variable TK_LIBRARY (which is set in one of the configuration files when installing from scratch) will override whatever it is currently set to. I tried this but experienced the same problem. I installed Tk and Tcl using the pkg_add program from the 2.0-RELEASE distribution. Both packages were installed in the default directories. I guess the next thing to try is an full installation, but does anyone have any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?
