tcl/tk Version Menu?

#1 Post by edoc »

Somewhere I once had an app that provided for tcl/tk version changes via
a simple menu. I could not find it on the Forum or Wiki -- must be buried
inside a thread somewhere.

I need libtcl8.4.so and libtk8.4.so for the Snack audio tools.

Thanks! doc

It is here, lets you switch among several versions, 8.4 is included.

Thanks for that. It installed OK and I set it to 8.4 but Snack still fails.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing Snack but no joy.

Will try a MS-type reboot solution (sure hate to do that) and see if that
clears things up.

EDIT

Ooops! Would help if I read the messages!
The tcltck version app says that v8.4 has not been installed.
From whence do I acquire that, please?

Thanks! doc

The inbuilt 8.4-Tls is Tcl/Tk 8.4.
The Button "8.4" is only to let you choose the original one that comes with Puppy 1x.

To find out, why your snack won't run, activate 8.4-Tls, then run snack from a consolewindow to see, where the problem is.
Maybe the Tcl/Tk from Puppy 1x had some additional libraries, I think there was a libsnack or something like that.

SUCCESS: snack-2.2.9 is installed!
Note 1: To see any change to the menu, the window manager must be restarted.
Note 2: If installed any library, X server, browser, you must reboot Puppy.

HOWEVER, these dependencies required by this package are missing:
File /usr/lib/snack2.2/libsnack.so has these missing library files:
libtcl8.4.so libtk8.4.so

WRITE THESE FILENAMES ON PAPER, THEN INSTALL THEM!


I was unable to get snack to execute from the console window.

?? Thanks! doc

Type in a consolewindow:
snamp.tcl

This works for me, when I activated 8.4-Tls.
Do you get errors?
I just saw, there also is a Tcl 8.4.2 and Tk 8.4.2 in Pupget.

But before you try to install those, lets look what the console tells us.

A WinXP radio scanner control app loaded and worked fine under WINE so I was
emboldened to return to the tk7 challenge!

snamp.tcl opens fine but tk7.tcl does not:
sh-3.00# snamp.tcl
sh-3.00# tk7.tcl
sh: tk7.tcl: command not found
sh-3.00# ls
api7.tcl gui7.tcl mylib.tcl sample.csv tk7.tcl
COPYING misclib.tcl README tk7.bat
sh-3.00# tk7=/usr/lib/8.4/tk7.0.5/ ;export tk7
sh-3.00# ./tk7.tcl
Error in startup script: couldn't read file "/usr/lib/8.4/tk7.0.5/misclib.tcl": no such file or directory
while executing
"source [ file join $Libdir "misclib.tcl" ]"
(file "./tk7.tcl" line 153)
sh-3.00#
