I have been having problems getting the 2.0 beta versions of tkrat to run on my potato system. It compiles fine but has problems with the c-client library blt_busy that is included int the source tree. Whenever this function is called it Segfaults and dies. If I comment the calls to blt_busy out of the start.tcl and print.tcl functions from the tkrat tree then it runs fine. I am asking on this list because no one else on the tkrat list seems to be having a problem which leads me to believe that it might be an issue with Debian potato.
I am current in potato with gcc 2.95, tk/tcl 8.2. I have also tried the gcc272 compiler but that did not change anything. If any C & tcl masters wants to try and debug it you can get the code at ftp://ftp.md.chalmers.se/pub/tkrat/tkrat-2.0b5.tar.gz. The specific code that seems to have problems is tkrat-2.0b5/util/blt_busy.c in the source tree. And from what I can tell trying to poke around in gdb(I don't speak C or tcl) is that the line #407 'busyPtr = (Busy *)calloc(1, sizeof(Busy));' seems to cause the SIGSEGV.
