[agtk-devel] MultiTrans on Linux

[Sean H. <she...@ug...>]

Greetings all,

So, I was trying to get MultiTrans and TableTrans working on
my Redhat 9.0 machine.  But, I seem to be having some
difficulty, particularly with MultiTrans.

I went through the README file and did all the tests, and
nothing went wrong.  The wish interpreter can find all the
packages discussed in the README.  So, I think I'm good to go
there.

However, when I try to start it up by entering 'wish
MultiTrans.tcl,' I get an error message that looks like the
following:

Error in startup script: unknown option "-wavefill"
    while executing
"error "unknown option \"$opt\"""
    ("default" arm line 2)
    invoked from within
"switch -- $opt {
   -background -
   -foreground -
   -troughcolor -
   -cursorcolor {
    $wid(wavebar) configure $opt $val
   }
   -icons {

   }
  ..."
    (procedure "wsurf::configure" line 10)
    invoked from within
"wsurf::configure .surfer.surf -wavefill #000000"
    ("eval" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"eval wsurf::$cmd .surfer.surf $args"
    (procedure ".surfer.surf" line 1)
    invoked from within
"$widget configure -wavefill "#000000""
    (file "./agtk/multi.conf" line 31)
    invoked from within
"source $configFile"
    (procedure "loadConfiguration" line 3)
    invoked from within
"loadConfiguration $w $a(-configuration)"
    (procedure "wsurf::create" line 161)
    invoked from within
"wsurf::create .surfer.surf -configuration ./agtk/multi.conf
-messageProc setMsg -progressProc snack::progressCallback"
    ("eval" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"eval wsurf::create $w $args"
    (procedure "wsurf" line 1)
    invoked from within
"wsurf $gv(waveForm) -configuration $gv(WaveSurferConfig) \
        -messageProc setMsg -progressProc
snack::progressCallback "
    (file "MultiTrans.tcl" line 1155)

Ok, so I'm thinking that something went wrong.  I looked in
the code and saw that the program has two other package
requirements that it must find: agtk and ag-wsurf.  I tried
the commands 'package require ag-wsurf' and 'package require
agtk' in wish and it couldn't find either of them.  I even
tried different version commands and made a copy of the script
without the -exact tags.  Nada.  Now, there is an agtk
directory in the same directory as the MultiTrans.tcl script.
 Within that agtk directory, is an ag-wsurf.tcl file.  Now,
I'm not very good with Tcl/Tk, so I'm not really sure if those
are the packages that it should be looking for.  If they are,
any ideas why wish can't find them?
