Message:
Do you know if you have tkhtml installed somewhere else on your system? 
It'd possibly be in some tcl script directory somewhere or a lib sub folder
perhaps.

Message:
Hello again,

I tried the cmake build with the same results.  This time cmake used my
installed itcl,+itk and iwidgets (3.4 and 4.0.2 respectively) installation.
 Mged works fine as far as I can tell.  It  had some quirks before but they
are missing now.

Cheers,

Fred

Message:
It's not clear what's going wrong there, but it looks related to our usage
of tkhtml in archer.  The first thing I would suggest is to try our newer
cmake build system instead of our legacy autotools build system.  If you
can reproduce the problem with cmake, that will be something worth
investigating further in our latest sources.
