Hi John,
Thanks - that's a help. TK_LIB_SPEC is apparently empty -
tk_vars.get("default", "TK_LIB_SPEC") returns ''. See attached patch for an
attempt to manage this condition.
This brings me on to my next problem.. here's the result of the patched
script. is this new error likely to be connected with the above issue?
(I'm using an up-to-date cygwin installation)
