[tcljava-user] Problem getting Tclblend working

[Timon H. <met...@ya...>]

Hi,

i have nearly tried everything to get TCLBlend working
on my Win XP machine.

I have tried:
Java sdk 1.4.2 
tclBlend 1.2.6
Tcl 8.5.2

Didnt work.

I Compiled it myself with this help file:
http://mini.net/tcl/9993
and it didnt work either..
got this error:
% package require java
"XpUtils::iload -d C:/Tcl/msys/local/lib/tcljava1.3.1
tclblend" failed:
 couldn't load library
"C:/Tcl/msys/local/lib/tcljava1.3.1/tclblend.dll":
this library or a dependent library could not be found
in library path


Now I have used the versions and Installation Help
from here:
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/~johnr/tutorials/tcljava98/notes/installation.html

using tcl 8.3.2 java jdk 1.1.8 and tclblend 1.2.6

i have set all the path vars.

i have checked the depedecies of the tclblend.dll and
both JVM.dll and TCL83.dll and MSJAVA.dll are found.

and i get this error:
"load C:/Tcl8.3.2/lib/TclBlend/tclblend.dll" failed:
 couldn't load library
"C:/Tcl8.3.2/lib/TclBlend/tclblend.dll": this library
or a dependent library could not be found in library
path
currently, the PATH environment variable includes
these directories:
C:\WINDOWS\system32 C:\WINDOWS
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem "C:\Programme\Symantec\Norton
Ghost 2003\" C:\Programme\ActiveState Komodo 3.0\ 
C:\programme\cvs  C:\jdk1.1.8\bin  C:\Tcl8.3.2\bin 

Windows users should note that the most common cause
of problems loading TclBlend is the user forgetting to
set the PATH environment variable to include both the
Tcl shared libraries and the Java shared libraries.
JDK 1.1 users that installed into C:\jdk1.1.8 need to
include C:\jdk1.1.8\bin on the PATH.
JDK 1.2 users that installed into C:\jdk1.2.2 need to
include C:\jdk1.2.2\jre\bin AND
C:\jdk1.2.2\jre\bin\classic AND
C:\Tcl8.3.2\lib\TclBlend on the PATH.

can anybody help me solve this problem or send me a
working version (jdk + tcl + tclblend) or working
installation document.

thanks

Hello Timon

I know it is frustrating, but Tcl Blend does work. It is just a matter
of getting your PATH env var set correctly. First off, you should
be using the 1.3.1 release of Tcl Blend.

The release comes will install a script named jtclsh in the $install/bin
directory. I would suggest that you use this script as a starting point.
It should setup all the env vars you need for you. You run the script
from the same msys shell you would use to build Tcl and Tcl Blend.

This error shows that one of the dlls that tclblend.dll depends on
are not being found on the PATH at runtime. Which one? Windows
does not give you any helpful info about which one it might be,
you just have to figure that out on your own. The most likely case
is that one of the Java dlls is not being found. A lot of times,
Java dlls live in multiple directories, so it can be a little tricky
getting them all in the PATH.

I hope that helps
