How to solve this problem ? > Thank you. Leonid Just tried this on Linux and had no problem loading this package. My session, roughly: % ... get the distribution ... % ./ActiveTcl8.6.0.0b3.292682-linux-ix86-threaded/install.sh -- directory FOX % ./FOX/bin/teacup install Tkhtml 3 % ./FOX/bin/tclsh8.6 % package require Tkhtml 3 3.0 % exit Some questions. What platform are you on ? Do you get this message only for Tkhtml 3, or for other packages as well ? Did you install your AT 8.6 into a separate directory, or is is sharing with other/older AT installations ? If it is sharing please install into a separate directory and try if that is ok.

Leonid At this point I have to assume that this is something in your setup which causes this. Do you have maybe code in ~/tclshrc.tcl and/or ~/wishrc.tcl ? (Where ~ is your home directory) Another thing to look at, what are the contents of the variable ::errorInfo immediately after the failing 'package require' command ? I.e. please run wish8.6, then package require Tkhtml 3.0 puts $::errorInfo It might make sense to switch to email for a quicker turnaround. Andreas |
