I recently installed the tk42 and tcl76 packages then went to recompile my kernel. On using make xconfig I discovered that tk didn't seem to be working. Trying to check further on this has produced some mystifying behaviour. $ ls -l /usr/bin/wish4.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5780 Mar 3 21:41 /usr/bin/wish4.2 $ file /usr/bin/wish4.2 /usr/bin/wish4.2: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 386, version 1, stripped $ /usr/bin/wish4.2 /usr/doc/tk42/examples/hello bash: /usr/bin/wish4.2: No such file or directory
I even checked with strace and the first call to execev with the argument of /usr/bin/wish4.2 fails. That message of "No such file or directory" can appear in mystifying ways for shell scripts but I have never seen a case like this before. One is reduced to shouting at the screen, "It's there, I tell you. It's really there!". The reason I was recompiling the kernel is to adjust the IRQ's used by my sound card. I fell back on a plain make config but even that failed. When I indicated that I had an Ensoniq sound card it prompted later for the base address (SSCAPE_BASE) with the default of 330. No matter what I respond at that point it just returns a message that there is no help available for that variable. Does "make config" have difficulty with the "hex" type of variable? Suggestions welcomed. -- Douglas Bates [EMAIL PROTECTED] Statistics Department 608/262-2598 University of Wisconsin - Madison
