There's also [info commands ...] Not every tcl-command is a procedure. Even scripts can create commands that are not procedures: e.g. namespace ensemble, tk-widgets, interp-aliases,... And finally (but unlikely) it could also be [unknown]-magic. (then it wouldn't even show up with [info commands], but could still be "executed" without error) PS: Sorry, don't know much about tablelist, though.

Also no reaction! $ tclsh % package require tablelist % ::tablelist::tablelist .t -columns {0 Left 0 Center 0 Right} % info commands ::tablelist::tablelist % This must be a bug in TCL/Tk .. ??? -- Gerhard Reithofer Tech-EDV Support Forum - http://support.tech-edv.co.at

They both appear to be working on the sparc solaris sytsem I am using. I wonder if somehow the version of tclsh that you are picking up is pointing to a partial version of tablelist or something. It just seems so peculiar that it would appear to find the package, but not return the normal information. Could it be that your environment has somehow replaced the "puts" command with something else?

TCL is the language where (almost) everything can be introspected, therefore it should be possible to find out the reason for this behavior. Until now this was the case on similar problems. ... > I wonder if somehow the version of tclsh that you are picking up is > pointing to a partial version of tablelist or something.

I have installed on my machine ActiveTcl 8.5 and "normal" Ubuntu provided version 8.4. 2. The problem ONLY appears when using Tablelist 3. The programs fail only when starting Tcl 8.5, no problem on 8.4 4. The same programs work when using package requite -exact 4.12.1 5. Same result if unstalling Tablelist 4.12.1 Therefore I think that it should be possible to find the "bug" or what else makes problems. IMHO the combination of ActiveTcl 8.5 and Tablelist 5.1 is the problem, but how to work it out in detail? Latest investigation results: mainly steppig througk "package provide" files /opt/ActiveTcl-8.5/lib/teapot/package/tcl/teapot/tcl8/8.0/tablelist-5.1.tm /opt/ActiveTcl-8.5/lib/teapot/package/tcl/teapot/tcl8/8.0/tablelist-4.12.1.tm $ wish % package require -exact tablelist::common 4.12.1 4.12.1 % ::tablelist::useTile 0 % ::tablelist::createBindings 0 ; nothing returned here for 5.1 % info procs ::tablelist::createBindings ::tablelist::createBindings % ------------------------------------ $ wish % package require -exact tablelist::common 5.1 5.1 % ::tablelist::useTile 0 % ::tablelist::createBindings % info procs ::tablelist::createBindings % info commands ::tablelist::createBindings ------------------------------------ For me it's the major problem, that I can execute a procedure which DOES NOT exist! These functions do not return anything. > Could it be that your environment has somehow replaced the "puts" > command with something else? I don't think so as puts "seems" to react normally, but how can I verify this? -- Gerhard Reithofer Tech-EDV Support Forum - http://support.tech-edv.co.at |
