12221 builds Tk/Tcl without errors. Which gets to the place that I have always
been with these demos--they don't run. Here's the synopsis--I hope it's not too
confusing.
As I understand it, my computer has three ways to run wish: an X11 version, a
native ("Aqua") version called plserver which appears to be a specialized
version of the factory-installed wish which is the third way.
Following the instructions in README.tkdemos:
Only xtk01 is built--xtk02 etc. are not built.
Typing ./xtk01 -f tk01 results in the X11 server launching and a window
displaying for about 1/10 second before disappearing. The window seems to have
some buttons across the top with the words "One", ... , "Four", "Exit" and
additional text something like "TK Control of x01c from TK" but there is no
plot--the rest of the window is blank. The following text appears in the
terminal:
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
Resource id in failed request: 0xb8c0c90
Serial number of failed request: 30
Current serial number in output stream: 33
Starting plserver at /usr/local/plplot/bin/plserver starts a native app called
plserver which displays a small blank window from which I can "Run Widget Demo"
OK. Typing source tkdemos.tcl causes a blank window to appear for about 1/10
second. The following appears in the terminal:
% source tkdemos.tcl
% X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
Resource id in failed request: 0x10b47e90
Serial number of failed request: 30
Current serial number in output stream: 33
Running
/usr/local/plplot/bin/plserver -h
causes Segmentation fault: 11.
Running $ wish launches X11 and the X11 wish program. Following the
instructions in the readme,
% package require Pltk
dlsym(0x7fd3b14d5e00, Pltk_Init): symbol not founddlsym(0x7fd3b14d5e00,
Pltk_SafeInit): symbol not founddlsym(0x7fd3b14d5e00, Pltk_Unload): symbol not
founddlsym(0x7fd3b14d5e00, Pltk_SafeUnload): symbol not foundcouldn't find
procedure Pltk_Init
% source tkdemos.tcl
invalid command name "plstdwin"
and then nothing interesting, no window drawn.
If instead I run the factory-installed wish and follow the instructions, I get:
%lappend auto_path /usr/local/plplot/share/plplot5.9.9
...whole lotta paths...
% package require Pltk
dlsym(0x7fd171822450, Pltk_Init): symbol not founddlsym(0x7fd171822450,
Pltk_SafeInit): symbol not founddlsym(0x7fd171822450, Pltk_Unload): symbol not
founddlsym(0x7fd171822450, Pltk_SafeUnload): symbol not foundcouldn't find
procedure Pltk_Init
% source tkdemos.tcl
invalid command name "plstdwin"
and again and then nothing interesting, no window drawn.
With respect to the tcl demos as described in README.tcldemos--
$ ./x01
./x01: line 13: exec: pltcl: not found
After adding /usr/local/plplot/bin/ to my PATH and repeating ./x01, the
Plotting Options text menu is repeated several times in the terminal window.
Choosing e.g. Cairo PDF Driver causes this output to appear many times:
(process:89116): Pango-WARNING **: pango_layout_set_markup_with_accel: Value of
'size' attribute on <span> tag on line 1 could not be parsed; should be an
integer, or a string such as 'small', not '-2147483648'
and a valid PDF is created but which is an all-black page.
Running e.g. $ ./x01c and selecting Tcl/TK Window causes a native program
plserver to run. It has drop-down menus File and Help. File has an About...
which opens a text window describing Plplot. The normal File menu has a
functioning Run Widgets Demo. The window is otherwise blank, with no plot.
There is a second program which runs at the same time called x01c and appears
to be a standard native wish with some default-looking menu commands (Source,
Run Widget Demo) but no window of its own. When I Quit either of these programs
using the available menu item, they both hang and have to be force-quit.
Running x01c and selecting New tk driver results in this:
*** PLPLOT ERROR, IMMEDIATE EXIT ***
No tk plframe widget to connect to
Program aborted
