Hi Phil: Actually, I just made that push (commit 6f7f855) a little ahead of my ETA. This should complete my project to get comprehensive run-time testing (done with the scripts/comprehensive_testing.sh script) to work completely on Linux for a test case where Tcl/Tk/itcl/itk/iwidgets were installed with a pathname prefix that had a blank. This should clear out many of the blank-in-path issues that would have hindered you for your own comprehensive run-time testing. @everyone: As part of these series of commits I also took the opportunity to remove all mention of the unused LIB_TAG variable from our build-system logic. This change makes that logic much easier to read. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
