Yeah, I think tcl is one of the things that confounds people the most. Not really learned that much anymore. I learned it long ago for CAD tools from IBM.
But really, both Homebrew and Macports are domain specific languages from the port writers perspective. You've got to learn it anyway. People in my CS department lab would go to Homebrew first and then come ask me how to install MacPorts since we have much better package selection. For instance: "If I type brew search tex, it recommends installing MacTex instead of a from-source install." LAME. Mark --Mark _______________________ Mark E.
