I was wondering why combobox and mclistbox didn't appear in the latest vtcl release, too the package names are recognized %package names http BLT tcltest opt Img combobox registry Tcl mclistbox dde %ver Windows 98 [Version 4.10.2222] using tcl 8.32 john black -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of cgavin Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2000 5:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vtcl-user] combo and mclist libraries on windows 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 ?
