Re: [aclug-L] Midnight Commander?

["Clint A. Brubakken" <cabrubak@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

first I assume tkmc uses the Tk widget set, like a lot of linux programs.
Try something elese that starts with tk, or zircon (one application of the
top of my had I know uses it), and the all look sort of similar.

Never ran mc, so I'm not sure what it looks like, but maybe it just uses
xwindows calls, instead of a widget set. 

It looks like a problem in your TCL/TK distribution. Maybe tkmc was
written for an older version, or it was libraries a different place .

try :
locate libtcl
(if it gives an erro about being old first as root run updatedb)
this will tell all locations were that lib is.

If you see one in a different directory try adding that to your ld library
path 
(csh: setenv  LD_LIBRARY_PATH <new dir>:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} 
bash: export  LD_LIBRARY_PATH = <new dir>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
you'll have to add this to your .cshrc or .bashrc respectively to get this
change every time )

If you still have the same problem, look at redhat for patches for tkmc,
or Tcl/Tk. 


If none, you can go to  www.scriptics.com and get the newest tcl and 
tk.

hope this helps
