tcltkgrass (GRASS 5.0beta, SGI, Linux)

Hi - it's me again :slight_smile:

I have trouble starting tcltkgrass on our SGI - all I get is this (and
I really do not understand it...):

-------- snip ----------------------------------------------------------

Mapset <PERMANENT> in Location <ImageImport>
GRASS 5.0beta > tcltkgrass&
[1] 10285

Mapset <PERMANENT> in Location <ImageImport>
GRASS 5.0beta > Error in startup script: can't read "0": no such
variable
    while executing
"exec wish8.0 "$0" "$@""
    (file "/exports/sgi/GRASS/grass5.0/bin/tcltkgrass" line 4)

[1] Exit 1 tcltkgrass

Mapset <PERMANENT> in Location <ImageImport>
GRASS 5.0beta >

-------- snip ----------------------------------------------------------

On my Linux Box there is another problem with tcltkgrass (I do not have
anything running like netscape, xv or what ever but do only have a 8 bit
display...):

-------- snip ----------------------------------------------------------

bgerror failed to handle background error.
    Original error: cannot auto-load command "tkMessageBox"
    Error in bgerror: invalid command name "bgerror"

-------- snip ----------------------------------------------------------

That occurs anytime I want to use the menuitems (the only way to quit
tcltkgrass is to use the quit / kill of the tcltkgrass window itself...

Any suggestions... :slight_smile:

  Have a nice weekend,

    Stephan

Looks like you have an old tcl tk version installed.

To find out:
Try to call wish8.0 alone (exit with exit).
Otherwise call wish and enter: $tk_version
It will complain about the number as an command name, but
the number should be 8.0. :slight_smile:

Get a new tcl tk Distribution then.

This also might be realated to a buggy or old tcl tk installation.
If it gives you no trouble, I would try installing 8.0.4. :slight_smile:
