[Plplot-devel] tcl-only configuration does not work on MAIN HEAD (nor on AT)

Maurice (or any other tcl guru here), I have found a tcl-only configuration bug for MAIN HEAD. To show the bug do the following test: configure --prefix=/usr/local/plplot --with-double --enable-dyndrivers \ --disable-tk --disable-itcl make #next step is important! rm -rf /usr/local/plplot/* make install I find under these circumstances that the tcl demos do not work. (see the instructions in /usr/local/plplot/lib/plplot5.1.0/examples/tcl/README.tcldemos). Following the tclsh instructions, I can load the library, but none of the plplot commands (e.g., plinit) are available. With pltcl I get the following immediate error message: /usr/local/plplot/bin/pltcl application-specific initialization failed: Other symptoms: ***/usr/local/plplot/lib/plplot5.1.0/tcl is completely empty which I assume is the source of the problem.*** (/usr/local/plplot/lib/plplot5.1.0/pkgIndex.tcl is there and filled with only the tcl part as it should be.) BTW, if tk and itcl are enabled (which happens by default) the tcl demos do work. I assume that some aspect of the tk or itcl configuration is giving essential support to the tcl option. Maurice, what is the minimum that needs to be installed so that tcl demos work for the tcl-only case? I fought with this problem on the AT branch for quite a while until I realized reproducing MAIN HEAD was not a good thing to do because of this MAIN HEAD configuration bug. But I frankly don't know what should be done to get tcl-only installed so any help would be most appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving to the residents of the USA on this list.
