Getting SN5 running over a 452 install.

Getting SN5 running over a 452 install.

I'm having a heckuva time getting SN5 running on my linux machine (RedHat 6.2 
w 2.4x kernel upgraded). I've got 452 installed (built from source) and it 
has no problem running. I d/l'd 5 and built/installed it but when I try to 
run it I get a 'Error: invalid command name "sn_tcl_tk_init"' message at the 
command prompt. I'm guessing that this is some kind of tcl conflict but I 
really know nothing about Tk/Tcl so I don't know how to address this. 
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a "make uninstall" available for 
either version (which is really bad! please fix this!) so I just have to 
install 452 back over. How do I get rid of SN and install from scratch? Will 
this fix my 5 issue?

	thanx & later,

Did you build as root and then try to run it as a normal user?
Do you get the same error if you build/install/run as a normal
user?

Yes - the behavior I described was under that scenerio. When I try to run as 
root I get a different error:  'Error: invalid command name 
"Preferences&::load_default_settings"'.

I haven't tried this although that won't be adequate for my final solution as 
I need all users to be able to run SN. I'll setup to try this now to help 
debug and if I get a different result I'll report back here.

I was hit by this, too. Somehow the tclIndex file in the share/sourcenav/gui
directory is not built completely - the script that builds it during install time
fails with the error message: application-specific initialization failed: invalid 
command name "tcl_findLibrary". After I rerun that command by hand,
everything works. The script is:

here=\`pwd\` && TCL_LIBRARY=%{source_dir}/tcl8.1/library && export TCL_LIBRARY && \\
  PATH="\$PATH":%{build_dir}/tcl8.1/unix && export PATH && \\
          cd %{prefix}/usr/local/share/sourcenav/gui && \\
  rm -f tclIndex && \\
  echo "auto_mkindex %{prefix}/usr/local/share/sourcenav/gui" > mkindex.tcl && \\
  %{build_dir}/itcl/itcl/unix/itclsh mkindex.tcl && \\
  rm -f mkindex.tcl && \\
  chmod 644 tclIndex

To verify that /usr/local/share/sourcenav/gui/tclIndex is built properly, see if it lists
Preferences::load_default_settings among other things. 
Or you may just grab that file from the binary and drop it onto your installation.

Its been a long time but I'm just no getting around to this....

I did indeed build/install as root and it runs (apparently) fine as root. I 
recall that this was a problem in 452 but I don't recall which file I need to 
fix the permissions on so all users can run it. Can't this be fixed in the 
install portion of the build? Anyway, please let me know which file I need to 
fix permissions on.
