[tcltk-perl] Re[2]: FAIL Tcl-Tk-0.80 i686-linux 2.4.18-14

[Vadim K. <va...@vk...>]

SR> This is on a RedHat 8.0 machine with the default Tcl and Tk (both
SR> version 8.3) installed from RPM:

SR> tclsh
SR> % package require Tk
SR> can't find package Tk
SR> %

SR> wish
SR> % package require Tk
SR> 8.3
SR> %

This exactly means your tcl misses some autoloading support.

There must exist a file /usr/local/lib/tk8.3/pkgIndex.tcl

It has following contents on my cygwin system:
if {[package vcompare [package provide Tcl] 8.4] != 0} { return }
package ifneeded Tk 8.4 [list load [file join $dir .. .. bin tk84.dll] Tk]

Yours will differ.

However this either means RedHat distribution lacks something, or we
must perform required actions in Makefile.PL

I hope Tcl/Tk experts will give an advice?
(Jeff, could you please advice?)

Best regards,
Vadim.
