I'm trying to follow these instructions for the first time and am not

bug in MacPorts 1.8.0.

I have created the file macports_testing.tcl with the specified contents
(except that on the first line I use "/opt/local/Library/Tcl" etc.
because that is where my macports1.0 lives).
Leaving rlwrap out of it for the moment, I can run "tclsh" (or
"tclsh8.4" or "tclsh8.5"). But as soon as I try to "source
~/path/to/macports_testing.tcl" I don't see the successful "1.0" message
but instead:
can't read "workpath": can't read "portbuildpath": no such variable
Can anybody help?
The problem might be that your installation of the MacPorts libraries
isn't on the standard Tcl search path. /Library/Tcl is a standard search
path for Tcl on the Mac, but /opt/local/Library is not. Try running this
command in your tclsh session:
lappend auto_path /opt/local/Library/Tcl
or whatever the specific location is, then try sourcing the relevant file.
Here's a good site with resources for learning more about Tcl:
http://www.tcl.tk/doc/
There's a tutorial there, among other things.
