There is no need to add these directories to your path and even if there was, this is not the place to do it. For most single user purposes, /etc/ profile need not be modified. If you want to add directories to your path, do it in your .bashrc or .bash_profile
It was not clear from your previous emails that you were trying to build with tcl8.5. This changes everything. This is precisely the kind of dependency management nightmare that is going to crop up in moving to 8.5. Because most OSs with a preinstalled tcl are on 8.4, including OS X. At the very least, the move to 8.5 should be accompanied by a reworked configuration mechanism. All those undeclared symbols in your configure output are from the X11 libraries. This is not what you want if you are trying to build a Scid application bundle, and it is not clear to me why it wants those symbols. It will be hard to help you unless you provide more details about your tcl8.5 installation. Where did you get it? How did you install it? Where did it put its libraries, headers and executables? This is complicated by the fact that you can do two types of tcl/tk install on OS X; one that uses X11 and one that used native widgets. In looking at the configure script, I see that it looks for headers and libraries in /usr/include and /usr/lib first. This is probably not optimal as it means that files installed in local directories will always be shadowed by the system ones, which seems backwards to me. So, no matter where your new installation puts its headers and libraries, the configure script will not spit out a correct makefile. It's probably easiest to just edit the makefile that is produced. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list Scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
