Re: Can't find TclX

[Mark L. <la...@mi...>]

Skipping to question #3, there is no "module" binary. There is only the
"modulecmd" binary, and then there is a "module" alias which is defined in the
various $MODULESHOME/init shell files. For instance, the csh alias is
basically:

alias module "eval `modulecmd $*`"

(sloppy syntax, but the gist of the matter).


Regarding TclX, i'm not sure what the advantage of tclx is. I don't use it, but
maybe I'm missing something.
