[Xcircuit-dev] tclConfig.sh & xc_netlist

[John M. <joh...@ch...>]

Hello,

My apologies if this is the wrong place to post alleging a bug but it's 
the only xcircuit-related address I can find that I can get to work :-)

Today, 31oct03, I downloaded xcircuit-3.1.24.tgz 
<http://xcircuit.ece.jhu.edu/archive/xcircuit-3.1.24.tgz> and tried to 
install it on my Debian 3.0r1 box. 

After unpacking the .tgz I tried

     #./configure --with-tcl

which seemed to go OK until it died this way:

     checking for tclConfig.sh...
     can't find Tcl configuration script "tclConfig.sh"

I do have tcl 8.3, as installed by  apt-get.  I don't have a tclConfig.sh.

Then I tried

      #./configure --with-python

That seemed to go OK.  Then

     # make
    
chugged along until it died this way:

     python.c: In function `xc_netlist':
     python.c:902: structure has no member named `thisinstance'
     make[1]: *** [python.o] Error 1
     make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/john/tmp/xcircuit-3.1.24'
     make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

This seems like two separate issues?  BTW, installing with neither 
scripting language worked fine.  I don't really need  anything in the 
near future except the Postscript output so I'm OK.  I just thought I'd 
report these things in case they really are bugs.

Looks like a great program,

John
