Re: modules and cygwin?

[R.K. O. Ph.D. <rk...@ow...>]

Hello Harlan:
If you look in the PROBLEMS file it has an entry that may be helpful:

If you define a module for Tcl and incorrectly define TCL_LIBRARY
then "module whatis" will likely fail with an error message
of this form:
	tcltk(51):ERROR:159: Cannot initialize TCL
when it tries to initialize an interpretor for the next entry.
This will happen if your Tcl was built such that it requires
this environment variable to find the initializing Tcl scripts.
It may also fail if the Tcl version is incompatible.

There for set this env.var. in one of the system rc scripts
and try that out.
Good Luck,
	R.K.
