Package: itcl3-dev Version: 3.2.1-3.1 Severity: important Now, I admit that this bug report may be bogus, as I am no expert on Tcl and can't really tell if I'm mistaken myself somehow.
That being said, here's a little program I wrote (to test iwidgets really, but I didn't get quite that far with it): // conftest.c #include <tcl.h> #include <stdio.h> int main() { Tcl_Interp *interp; const char *cmd = "package require Iwidgets"; interp = Tcl_CreateInterp(); // Why do I get an error (too) if I remove this? Tcl_Eval(interp, "lappend tcl_library /usr/lib/tcl8.4"); if (Itcl_Init(interp) == TCL_ERROR) { printf("Itcl_Init call failed, error:\n%s\n", interp->result); return 1; } if (Tcl_Eval(interp, cmd) != TCL_OK || interp->result[0] == '\0') { printf("Tcl_Eval failed\n"); return 1; } return 0; } I compiled it with gcc -o conftest -g -I/usr/include/tcl8.4 conftest.c -ltcl8.4 -litcl3.2 The output I get from that is: Itcl_Init call failed, error: Can't find a usable itcl.tcl in the following directories: /usr/lib/itcl3.2 ./../lib/itcl3.2 ./../library ./../../library ./../../itcl/library ./../../../itcl/library This probably means that Itcl/Tcl weren't installed properly. If you know where the Itcl library directory was installed, you can set the environment variable ITCL_LIBRARY to point to the library directory. The relevant parts of a strace dump: lstat64("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=131, ...}) = 0 lstat64("/usr/lib", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=81920, ...}) = 0 lstat64("/usr/lib/itcl3.2", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=60, ...}) = 0 stat64("/usr/lib/itcl3.2/itcl.tcl", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=5000, ...}) = 0 open("/usr/lib/itcl3.2/itcl.tcl", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 6 fcntl64(6, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 ioctl(6, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbff73878) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) brk(0x808f000) = 0x808f000 read(6, "#\n# itcl.tcl\n# -----------------"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "--------------------------------"..., 4096) = 904 read(6, "", 4096) = 0 close(6) = 0 After which it tries to open itcl.tcl from the places listed above. This is not supposed to happen, right? Also, if I comment out the first Tcl_Eval call, I get: Itcl_Init call failed, error: can't read "tcl_library": no such variable -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages itcl3-dev depends on: ii itcl3 3.2.1-3.1 [incr Tcl] OOP extension for Tcl - ii libc6-dev 2.3.5-12 GNU C Library: Development Librari ii tcl8.4-dev 8.4.11-1.1 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8 Versions of packages itcl3-dev recommends: ii itcl3-doc 3.2.1-3.1 [incr Tcl] OOP extension for Tcl - -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
