I am having a great deal of trouble getting TCL/TK to work with PLplot. In the following, the stuff in /opt/local/ is from MacPorts, installed by me, and the stuff in /System/Library/Frameworks/ is installed by Apple.
With _no_ /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin path appended to the front of PATH in ~.profile and with _no_ /opt/local/lib/libtcl.dylib:/opt/ local/lib/libtk.dylib appended to CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH in my PLplot build script, this appears during the build phase. Note that the TCL version referenced is 8.4. -- Looking for include paths and libraries for Tcl/Tk -- Looking for include paths and libraries for Tcl/Tk - found -- Looking for tclsh -- Looking for tclsh - found -- TCL_TCLSH = /usr/bin/tclsh -- HAVE_TCL_GT_84 = 0 -- TCL_INCLUDE_PATH = /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers -- TCL_LIBRARY = /System/Library/Frameworks/tcl.framework -- TK_INCLUDE_PATH = /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Headers;/ usr/include -- TK_LIBRARY = /System/Library/Frameworks/tk.framework;/usr/X11R6/ lib/libSM.dylib;/usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.dylib;/usr/X11R6/lib/ libX11.dylib;/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.dylib When trying to run x01c with tk selected, this message appears: RegisterProcess failed (error = -50) and the program hangs requiring Control-C to quit. After installing the MacPorts version of TCL and TK (in /opt/local/) and modifying paths as such: With /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin appended to the front of PATH in ~/.profile and /opt/local/lib/libtcl.dylib:/opt/local/lib/libtk.dylib appended to the end of CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH, this appears. The referenced TCL version is 8.5.3 or something like that. -- Looking for include paths and libraries for Tcl/Tk -- Looking for include paths and libraries for Tcl/Tk - found -- Looking for tclsh -- Looking for tclsh - found -- TCL_TCLSH = /opt/local/bin/tclsh -- HAVE_TCL_GT_84 = 1 -- TCL_INCLUDE_PATH = /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers -- TCL_LIBRARY = /System/Library/Frameworks/tcl.framework -- TK_INCLUDE_PATH = /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Headers;/ usr/include -- TK_LIBRARY = /System/Library/Frameworks/tk.framework;/usr/X11R6/ lib/libSM.dylib;/usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.dylib;/usr/X11R6/lib/ libX11.dylib;/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.dylib This appears to be a "mixed" situation where the tclsh is from MacPorts and the includes are from /System/Library/Frameworks/. The wiki for OS X at http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php? title=Mac_OSX indicates that this can be a problem with cmake but suggests no cure. The results when trying to run x01c with tk selected are the same as above: RegisterProcess failed (error = -50) Earlier, I was able to at least get what I think was a wish window to open but with nothing displayed in it except for a couple of menus. Now, after reinstalling some stuff (e.g. MacPorts from scratch), I can't even get that to happen. FWIW, in the progress of trying to get things to work, I also upgraded Xcode from 2.4 to 2.5. (I can downgrade easily.)
