Re: [MACTCL] Tcl load command and mac os x

I dove into config guts and figured out the way to build via specifing
the location
of the config scripts for tcl and tk...

pgtksh behaves badly, clicking on the "pgtksh" window generates an
error:

set front process failed,-606

I can't get the menu for the wish window ;(

I guess I will have to ponder the dynamic loading of libs...

If anyone *has* got the loading to work, I would appreciate some
pointers...
