Unable to start the GTK front end.
The following was carried:
(1) installed j64-701 using J701a_win64.exe (on Windows XP64 Pro)
(2) from the jconsole downloaded and installed the GTK binaries:
install 'gtkide'
This installed the binaries in the directory ../j64-701/gtk
The zip file downloaded in this case was smaller than the previous
downloaded:
I think about 24m down to 17.5m
I assume that the help files are now in ~addons/docs
gtk-demo.exe seems to work but the "info" and "source" buttons are dormant.
(3) From the jconsole I then ran:
load 'gtkide'
and the following message is displayed:
----------------------------------------------------------
jgtk front end is not installed.
The install downloads required files.
Windows install (gtk binaries) can take several minutes.
To install jgtk, run sentence:
install'gtkide'
After install, run jgtk with:
Windows: jgtk icon
Linux: command (J folder)/bin/jgtk
Mac: jgtk icon or command (J folder)/bin/jgtk.command
All: jconsole run sentence load'gtkide'
)
(4) I then looked at the addon:
ide/gtk/gtk.ijs (Version 1.0.29)
which only held the message ie:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
smoutput 0 : 0
jgtk front end is not installed.
The install downloads required files.
Windows install (gtk binaries) can take several minutes.
To install jgtk, run sentence:

After install, run jgtk with:
Windows: jgtk icon
Linux: command (J folder)/bin/jgtk
Mac: jgtk icon or command (J folder)/bin/jgtk.command
All: jconsole run sentence load'gtkide'
)
This file is set to: "gtkide"
Previous versions of the ide/grk/gtk.ijs very different.
Any help appreciated to get GTK FE started and working.
