Hmm. I thought it was Tkx returning the error, but it wasn't 100% clear.
Do you have another suggestion as to where I should file a bug?
I think I've found the issue: a misconfigured pkgIndex.tcl in my Tk
installation that identifies the version as 8.5.12. Changing this to
8.5.13 alleviates the problem, and my Tkx sample app now runs.
I ran across the suggested fix here:
http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Tcl/comp.lang.tcl/2008-12/msg00198.html
This is not surprising: as I do a lot of Tk core development, my working
installation of Tk is often not 100% "clean" but instead is rebuilt
piecemeal from incremental changes that I make and patches I commit. I
suspect a clean, fresh build of Tk would not display these issues.
What's especially curious is that my Tcl/Tk scripts don't show this
issue! No wonder I couldn't figure it out. Perhaps it has something to
do with the fact that I run my Tcl/Tk scripts from the Wish application
rather than the Tcl interpreter with a "package require Tk" invocation.
Anyway, sorry for the noise, but I thought it would be especially
helpful to get this fix documented for posterity: I've seen a few other
reports of the behavior in scattered forums and no other fix has ever
been proposed. What's the big relief for me is that I can proceed with
some Perl/Tkx apps in a production context.
Thanks to all,
Kevin
