Hum... I am perplexed. Make sure you untar including the folder names, eg. c:\Program Files\Tcl\lib\combobox-2.0\.... c:\Program Files\Tcl\lib\mclistbox-1.02\... in a way similar to c:\Program Files\tcl\lib\blt2.4\... In combobox-2.0 and mclistbox-1.02 there should be a file named pkgindex.tcl. When Tcl looks for packages it does a search in the folders listed in the $auto_path. What version of Tcl/Tk are you using? I was using 8.3 on Windows. What if you type: package require foobar (which gives you an error) and then package names Do the combobox and mclistbox names appear in the list ?
