I am using tcl 8.0 - which I didn't realize was so old.
Based on your question I updated tcl to 8.5 and now the script WORKS FINE.
Thanks
----------------------------
FYI by the way, before updating tcl (using tcl 8.0) the updated script still
did not work:
sh ecos-install.tcl
eCos installer v2.0 starting...
Written and maintained by Jonathan Larmour <jifl@eCosCentric.com>
Retrieving installer metadata information...
*** ecos-install.tcl error: Failed to retrieve metadata:
wrong # args: should be "string compare string1 string2"
----------------------------
With regard to the commands (run Before the update to tcl 8.5)
[sempron ~]# which tclsh
/opt/redhat/xscale-030422/H-i686-pc-linux-gnulibc2.2/bin/tclsh
