I wasn't trying to move it from /usr/lib to /usr/share. I was trying to make it find the files that were installed in /usr/share. The change from lib to share is not something that I did. That seems to be part of tcl 8.3. If someone wants to inform me of a better way to do this then I'm open for suggestions. In the meantime, I'm carrying this change as a local modification when I release new versions of insight for windows. I'm trying to avoid this: Tcl_Init failed: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories: {} f:/cygwin/share/tcl8.3 f:/cygwin/share/tcl8.3 f:/share/tcl8.3 f:/share/tcl8.3/library f:/library f:/../tcl8.3/library ../tcl8.3/library This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly. >So, do we care at all about not doing things too differently from the net >release (in the futile hopes to someday just require people to use the net >release) or do we even bother? Until the net release understands cygwin, I think we'll always need a few tweaks. cgf
