[Installbase-devel] Can't select install directory on Linux

[Eric F. <ef...@sy...>]

When I try to change the install directory (the "Browse" button in the
Choose Destination Location dialog), it gives me the error "couldn't read
file ... choosedir.tcl".  The full stack dump is at the end of this message.
This happened when I tried to install InstallBase itself, and when I am
using an installer I generated with it.  I'm running on a system that only
has tk8.3 installed, if that matters.

I did a little digging around, and figured it might be a problem with the
tclkit.  I had never heard of tclkit before (pretty neat piece of software,
though...), but I wasn't going to let that stop me.  I grabbed the latest
tclkit and dropped it into place, but after that I got errors whenever I
tried to build an installer.

So I'm out of half-baked ideas.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of this
error?

Thanks
Eric
