Hello Pandey,

I have built xcircuit.3.7.39 on Mac10.6.8. I have installed latest tcl/tk
8.5.11.
it is crashing at startup, i tried to run through gdb and found below message.
I am sure it would be a known issue and you will be able to help me.

Starting xcircuit under Tcl interpreter

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.

This has been reported before;  check the discussion on:

   http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.xcircuit.devel/month=20100701

The issue, as I understand it, is that there is a Mac graphics ("Aqua")
based version of Tcl/Tk that is found and linked to by xcircuit, and
that it is incompatible with the X11 graphics calls made by xcircuit.
To avoid the problem, you will need an X11-based version of Tcl/Tk.
The email thread above says to get and compile the Tcl/Tk Unix sources
(presumably downloaded from www.tcl.tk).

If you think that you *do* have the X11 version of Tcl/Tk 8.5.11, then
I will have to revisit the problem.  Let me know.

                                        Regards,
                                        Tim
