I think in order to avoid coding in package version dependencies where none should exist, make sure your desired tcl package library directories are all properly positioned in auto_path. E.g. on my Kubuntu 12.04.3 box: $ tclsh8.4 % puts $auto_path /usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.4 /usr/lib /usr/local/lib/tcltk /usr/local/share/tcltk /usr/lib/tcltk /usr/share/tcltk $ tclsh8.5 % puts $auto_path /usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.5 /usr/lib /usr/local/lib/tcltk /usr/local/share/tcltk /usr/lib/tcltk /usr/share/tcltk That first entry enables it to find the right packages. -- Maurice LeBrun ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
