From: Andry on 21 Feb 2006 16:25 Hi Ulrich, Good point, I've just "appended" the wish contents of auto_path to the tclsh contents of auto_path. Now, it seems to find the package but there's something wrong with the code of the package itself, see below: ------------------------------------------------- % package require IxTclHal invalid command name "console" ------------------------------------------------- For some reasons tclsh does not recognize this command "console" whereas wish83 does. Another problem of libraries/packages to load? Any clue? Thanks

Try this: # Do as Ulrich suggested. lappend ::auto_path ... package require Tk package require IxTclHal

Simple fix: before the package require IxTclHal, just add: proc console args { puts "DEBUG: console $args" } The console command is provided by Wish on Windows, but doesn't exist in most Tcl/Tk environments. With the above you should be able to see printed to stardard output any messages meant for the console. Most likely, these are just debugging messages that you can ignore, but you should check the output anyway, just in case. -- Neil

If you have code that uses [console], it needs to run in wish84, not in tclsh84. If the use of [console] is in a package, please consider feeding back to the authors of that package that this is not a good idea, as packages really ought to be able to be [package require]d into more than one application. -- | Don Porter Mathematical and Computational Sciences Division | | donald.porter(a)nist.gov Information Technology Laboratory | | http://math.nist.gov/~DPorter/ NIST | |______________________________________________________________________| |
