problems installing on solaris

problems installing on solaris

[Erik Sobel]

I just did a fresh install of insight on solaris.  When I try to execute it 
I get the following error

"Tk_Init failed: invalid command name "tcl_findLibrary"

Does anyone know how to fix it?  Sounds like a path issue or possibly a 
Tcl/Tk version issue?

Thanks,

Erik Sobel

Yes. According to the changes file, the first correct implementation of that
function would be in 8.0.4. It's defined in the int.tcl file.

Erik,

This is usually a sign that you have found another tcl library from an 
older version of Tcl somewhere out on your disk.  Make sure you have
not set TCL_LIBRARY or TK_LIBRARY in your environment.  That is the
most common culprit.

Thanks for your responses.  I updated from 8.0.2 to 8.2, then re-installed 
insight, but still got the same error. I looked in 
/insight/tcl/library/init.tcl (not int.tcl) and found the proc 
tcl_findLibrary but I don't know which library it is supposed to end up in 
and whether it is on my path.

I also verified that I have no TCL_LIBRARY or TK_LIBRARY variables in my 
environment.

When you reinstalled, where did you reinstall? Is insight *really* using the
version you installed? You can see that by looking at the output of
configure. Also, make sure, when you recompile insight, that you remove all
information that may have remained from the previous build. To do so, try:

make distclean

and redo the configure/make cycle.

Fair enough. This means that your setup is incorrect. I suggest that you do
something like:

./configure | tee Output

and if things don't work out, send the (compressed) Output to me or to the
list and maybe we can see something in there.

Erik,

Did you actually install insight, or did you just run it from the
build tree?

The init.tcl that you want should be in prefix/share/tcl in the
installed version of the software.

Two things to note:

1) You have to use the version of Tcl/Tk that comes with gdb for now.
You can't use one of the Scriptics versions.

2) On some systems, to run from the build tree you have to actually be 
in the directory where the gdb executible is.

Jim

You can run gdb from the build tree, but this is somewhat flakier tha

Ooops. Never mind whatever I've said earlier.
