Ok. This error I have seen before, when Georgios reported it to me at the beginning of the week. Apparently the tdbc* packages use tcl_findLibrary to find their .tcl code, and get confused by the directory names used by the repository. I am in the process of fixing that. If the build this night went ok I might even have binaries for you to test. > I checked the output from sudo update and found that tdbc::mysql > hadn't been installed. That contradicts the above. Because if it truly had not been installed you would get 'package not found'. Regardless, the above is the true problem now. > I did 'find /opt/ActiveTcl-8.6 -name tdbcmysql.tcl' and found various > earlier versions that I had installed and a copy in > > /opt/ActiveTcl8.6/lib/teapot-old/package/linux-glibc2.3/lib/tdbc_mysql1.0b15 > > I then tried to verify my teapot with > > sudo /opt/ActiveTcl-8.6/bin/teacup verify > > This displayed > > Checking /opt/ActiveTcl-8.6/lib/teapot ... > Bad version "tcl1.0" > while executing > "# Compiled -- no source code available > error "called a copy of a compiled script"" > (procedure "ExtractInstanceFromPath" line 1) > invoked from within > "# Compiled -- no source code available > error "called a copy of a compiled script"" > (procedure "::repository::localma::Snit_methodVerify" line 1) > invoked from within > "::repository::client::localma1 Verify {command > ::repository::api::DONE} {::snit::RT.CallInstance > ::repository::client::Snit_inst1 VerifyDevNull}" > ("after" script) > > (Reformatted slightly to reduce line-wraps - each line above was > prefixed by "INTERNAL ERROR (BACKGROUND) | ") Hm. To understand this I will likely need more information about your directory structure underneath the teapot. Something you will likely not want to splash the whole world with. As I have already cc'd myself in the office for getting you the new tdbc::mysql, we can then talk about this a bit more as well. > I then did > > sudo /opt/ActiveTcl8.6/bin/teacup get tdbc::mysql > This appeared to attempt to retrieve a number of flavours of > tdbc::mysql, displayed errors that I needed a licence for some of Expected. > them and retrieved, amongst other things > Retrieving package tdbc::mysql 1.0b15 linux-glibc2.3-ix86 ...@ > http://teapot.activestate.com ...

I will first get you new binaries with my modifications eliminating tcl_findLibrary in them for you to test, that has to be mail. In that mail thread we will solve anything which then crops up, and when I am sure that the modifications work the binaries will go into the teapot. > Any help gratefully (and I hope gracefully) received. -- So long, Andreas Kupries <akupries(a)shaw.ca> <http://www.purl.org/NET/akupries/> Developer @ <http://www.activestate.com/> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The email address on my other postings should work fine, as will this one if you take out the NOSPAM nonsense and adjacent underscores. -- Alan

Alan checked those which he needed, and they work. The build date of the fixed packages is as::build::date : 2010-06-14 Their version (1.0b15) is unchanged. Kevin has the changes I made, for integration with his mainline. >>> I then tried to verify my teapot with >>> >>> sudo /opt/ActiveTcl-8.6/bin/teacup verify >>> >>> This displayed >>> >>> Checking /opt/ActiveTcl-8.6/lib/teapot ... >>> Bad version "tcl1.0" The new package dbus-tcl1.0 added a few weeks ago tripped the verify's handling of dashes.

I can also confirm that I tested Andreas's modified tdbc drivers and tdbc::mysql (the only one I use) works fine. However, my 'teacup update' just now didn't bring down a new copy of tdbc and drivers, and I don't know how to force a download, so I can't verify that they are in the teapot. -- Alan
