#13 wish doinstall.tcl pending MacOS

[Baudouin Chauviere]

Hi,

I am trying to use TkCVS on my mac. I downloaded the project and then used the terminal to access the directory, did a which wish to check if I had it and then a "wish doinstall.tcl" because thats what was written in the INSTALL file. It is still pending after more than an hour and I don't think thats normal at all.

Do you have any advice on what I should consider checking or updating?

Thanks,
Baudouin

That's definitely not normal. It should take a second. My guess would be that you don't have permission to write to /usr/local, where it's trying to install. Try "sudo wish doinstall.tcl" or you could try installing it somewhere else. Or, you can run it without installing at all, by sourceing the Local.sh file ". Local.sh" if you're using bash/sh/ksh, or "source Local.csh" if you're using csh/tcsh.
