Jeff Hobbs pointed out that bkchem bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/380346 (bkchem) possibly caused by mixed 8.4 and 8.5 versions of libtcl loaded at the same time, which can be seen in the backtrace. bkchem depends on python-pmw which depends strictly on Tcl/Tk >= 8.5, and BLT which depends on Tcl/Tk 8.5 or 8.4, so it might happen that the user reported the crash has both versions of Tcl installed, and the application is written in such a way that two versions of libtcl ended up being linked to a process. It would be nice if you forwarded this to the bkchem maintainers in Ubuntu. Other bugs appear to be more serious and might happen due to incompatibility between BLT and Tcl/Tk 8.5 (as BLT possibly uses Tcl internals, not only its public API which donesn't change between point releases). I'm not sure but possibly asking for help on tcl-core mailing list and comp.lang.tcl newsgroup would yield more information. Personally, I have no experience with BLT. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
