Invalid command "sn_tcl_tk_init"

Invalid command "sn_tcl_tk_init"

[Helmut Herrmann]

Hello,

I am new to this list. As I had difficulties in starting Source
Navigator logged in as normal user after having it installed as root (on
Linux SuSE 6.4) I searched the archive. I concluded from the
contributions that one of the available patches fixes the problem. Thus,
I tried those patches but without success. Could anybody point me into
the right direction and tell me the actual status?

Thanks,
Helmut

There was a problem with permissions on a couple of files which
prevented non-root users from running SN. Applying the patches and
rebuilding the SN source should take care of the problem, at least
it does here.

You applied this patch?
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/sourcenav/releases/patches/0001-spolk-000725-patch

That should have fixed it. This is the part that fixes that
problem.

You just need a chmod.

Thank you for your reply. Applying this patch was exactly what I did.
The Makefile was changed accordingly and after installation the files
such as sninit.tcl were owned by root and had the permissions 644.
However, I still got this error message:
Error: invalid command name "sn_tcl_tk_init"
I have no idea why.
(That is why at the moment I have SN created and installed as normal
user.)
