Re: [Gtkwave-users] gtkwave crashes by adding -W or -T in macOS

[Soya O. <p5h60esu@s.okayama-u.ac.jp>]

Thanks for your reply! I didn’t expect that there are problems in libraries.

I inspected shared libraries which gtkwave uses, and found gtkwave uses macports tcl/tk 8.6 version(i.e. not uses Apple-supplied tcl/tk 8.5). 

I also compiled with tcl/tk 8.5.13 version supplied by macports. 
It does not crash, but still closes itself and says `Mac OS X 10.10030 or later required !`.

Thanks.
