[Scidvspc-users] Scid start fails

[Christian O. <Opi...@we...>]

Hello,

after uncompressing scidvspc-code-r2911.zip in a tmp-directory I ran in
a terminal (Linux Mint 18.3 KDE Edition)
./configure && make
with no mistakes (but some warnings were shown) and after that I started
./scid

A welcome window appeared for a short time (1 or two seconds) and then
my terminal shows:

**** Start of message ****

    while executing

I hope this message is helpful enough for finding a solution as I am not
confident with Tcl/Tk.

Thanks a lot in advance.
