thanks for your help, i've tried what you've suggested and it helped a bit now i don't seem to get tclblend to load. i saw someone else struggled with it, and the remedy was "<JRE>/bin/classic directory in your PATH." i've had that already. i think my major problem is in working out where things are meant to be placed on the disk. i guess that i am not putting the source files and the executables in the correct places (or relative places). i have set up env vars: tcl_library, TCLLIBPATH, path and classpath i also set up the registry's ...localmachine\soft\scriptics\tcl\... can you do me a huge favor and send me paths, and settings of a working machine. many thanks sharif -----Original Message----- From: Mo DeJong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 June 2000 16:56 To: sharif Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Tcl Java] [Tcl Java] Installation problem with NT On Thu, 15 Jun 2000, sharif wrote: > when using Blend, i am getting "can't find package java" error. It sounds like the pkgIndex.tcl file for Tcl Blend is not getting found. When you unzip the tclBlend126-win32-tcl83-jdk122.zip file, the following directories should be created. creating: lib/ inflating: lib/tcljava.jar creating: lib/tclblend/ inflating: lib/tclblend/tclblend.dll inflating: lib/tclblend/pkgIndex.tcl inflating: lib/tclblend.jar inflating: Readme.tclblend You need to unzip this file in the Tcl install lib directory. >From your note, it looks like that is D:\Tcl\lib. Run unzip in the D:\Tcl directory so that is creates a directory like: D:\Tcl\lib\tclblend\ You could also set the TCLLIBPATH env var to the directory where you installed Tcl Blend. > 3- i've tried to compile Blend, but hit "tcl.h" not found (then other header > files), i manage to find a copies in httptcl sources, then hit [LINK : fatal > error LNK1181: cannot open input file > "..\..\tcl8.3.1\win\Release\tcl83.lib"] > > it seems that there are some assumptions (in the makefile) about where > things should be on the disk that i am unaware of, that could cause these > errors. You need to compile Tcl first, and then compile Tcl Blend. If you compile from source, you can also run the tclblend shell before installing with the "make shell" rule. later Mo DeJong Red Hat Inc ---------------------------------------------------------------- The TclJava mailing list is sponsored by Scriptics Corporation.
