Really.
Actually I am (almost) out of advices, but there is one point to consider. Perl module named Tcl is actually is a very thin wrapper. Most of my GUI-programs now are $int->Eval(<<'EOS'); #bunch of GUI constructing code goes here EOS my $widget_NNNN = $int->widget('.w.i.d.get.NNN','Widget::Type'); $widget_NNNN->doSomeMethod(args); So, if you can not do $int->Eval(<<'EOS'); package require BLT EOS then under 'wish' you also will not be able to succesfully do package require BLT Please find "pkgIndex.tcl" file within somewhere .../blt2.4/pkgIndex.tcl It does at the end set version "2.4" package ifneeded BLT $version [list LoadBLT $version $dir] May be the problem is with finding this shared library? try adding debugging "puts" statements around these lines BR, Vadim.
