Hello, I have been wondering about a better way to determine if Itcl is available (in the right version) or not.
Currently this is done by looking for the library and header files. But this does not check if the version of Itcl does indeed match the version of Tcl. (Itcl uses - at least in its classical form - a number of Tcl internals and is therefore locked to a particular version of Tcl.) The following script does check that (I tested it with different versions of Tcl and Itcl): package require Itcl puts OK exit This will either produce the output "OK" on standard output or an error message stating that Itcl was not found OR that the version of Tcl does not match: > tclsh85 % package require -exact Itcl 3.3 version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.2, need exactly 8.4 That would in my opinion be a useful addition to the current detection method.
