I focused the problem of the 3 types of messages being generated on
installation:
'dir' variable not set:
this harmless, yet confusing message is issued by pkg_mkIndex when the
whole rivet tcl library is sourced in to find Tcl packages and create
their pkgIndex.tcl files. The problem is that these index files are also
in the source tree, are copied to the install directory and get sourced
as well along with the packages code. Still they are not supposed to be
there by the time we generate them. Possible solutions are to remove the
pkgIndex.tcl files from repository, since they are automatically
generated, or skip the generation process upon installation (assuming
these files are generated by the developers and kept in svn)
'argv' variable not set: package 'commserver' has a server.tcl script in
it which the code uses the 'argv' variable that, as customary, gets set
when the file is run by command line and filled with the arguments to
the command. Adding a test on this variable and exiting if not set
should work out a safe check.
not existing librivetparser.so file:
this was actually an error that prevented librivetparser.so to be loaded
by tclrivet.
The file packages/tclrivet/tclrivet.tcl attempts to load this library
using a wrong relative path: determining the correct path is simple.
if no objections are raised I will take the first solution for the first
problem and commit the changes needed
