Thanks for looking at my problem. I don't have anything relevant under
/usr/local -- the search paths are built into the package.
I also have access to a Debian system with tk 8.6.0+8 installed. On this
system, I run tclsh and type
set auto_path
and get
/usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.6 /usr/share/tcltk /usr/lib /usr/local/lib/tcltk
/usr/local/share/tcltk /usr/lib/tcltk/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib/tcltk
/usr/lib/tcltk/tcl8.6
and then running
package require Tk
returns 8.6.2 and opens a toplevel Tk window.
Now on my own system with tk 8.6.0+9I run tclsh and type
set auto_path
and get
/usr/local/lib/tcl8.6 /usr/local/lib /usr/lib
If I then type
set auto_path {/usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.6 /usr/share/tcltk /usr/lib
/usr/local/lib/tcltk /usr/local/share/tcltk
/usr/lib/tcltk/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib/tcltk /usr/lib/tcltk/tcl8.6}
(so it is the same as it was in 8.6.0+8) then
package require Tk
it returns 8.6.6 and opens a toplevel window. I have added a line to my
script to set the auto_path to the old value and my application now runs
OK, although tk and wish should not need this.
Cheers
