So do you see a tkscid file in your compilation directory ? If yes, this is a simple PATH problem. If not, the compilation did not succeed. In that case, you have to look at error messages. > Instead of pursuing my test, I ask here the question : > > -- Is it possible (more to the point : easy) to install OSX on aqua ? > > My hypothesis is that it is, since there exists a project called > TclTkAqua.

Maybe TclTkAqua is a project trying to port Tcl Tk to native Carbon Mac UI (without X11), but I personaly don't know Mac world.
