Alan, I tried your suggestions. I blocked the MacPorts stuff so that only the factory Tcl/Tk stuff is visible. When building, I saw Scanning dependencies of target test_tk_01 make -f examples/CMakeFiles/test_tk_01.dir/build.make examples/CMakeFiles/test_tk_01.dir/build cd /usr/local/plplot_build_dir/examples && tk/xtk01 -f /usr/local/plplot_build_dir/examples/tk/tk01 X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes) Resource id in failed request: 0x21a5a690 Serial number of failed request: 30 Current serial number in output stream: 33 make[3]: *** [examples/CMakeFiles/test_tk_01] Error 1 make[2]: *** [examples/CMakeFiles/test_tk_01.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: *** [examples/CMakeFiles/test_tk_01.dir/rule] Error 2 make: *** [test_tk_01] Error 2 make: *** No rule to make target `test_tk_02'. Stop. and similar output for test_tk_03 and test_tk_o4. At the test phase, all of the Tcl tests passed. When I try to run a tcl example myself, I get a black page, e.g., in ps or svg or qtwidget, although a largish and valid file in the cases of ps and svg. I gather that I don't know how to run Tcl programs. When I run e.g. a C example and choose device Tcl/TK Window, plserver runs but nothing is displayed in what I assume is the plotting part of the window--just a white space. When I Quit it, it hangs and has to be force-quit. When I run a C example and choose New tk driver, the message *** PLPLOT ERROR, IMMEDIATE EXIT *** No tk plframe widget to connect to Program aborted appears. This is pretty much the same behavior that I reported yesterday to the list except that we now know that the Tcl examples pass testing. Unless someone has any more ideas, I'm going to set this aside.
