Re: [MACTCL] Loading Tk into Panther tclsh

[<ti...@ma...>]

hey john,

...you'll need to compile tk versus x11:  the tcl that comes with OSX 
is kinda orphaned without a robust tk implementation (guess it's for 
people doing web setups via apache)...an easy way to install tk for x11 
is via fink...otherwise, download the actual sources and compile...

l8r,
jamie
