Re: pltlc and pltlcu problems

ok ok - so i went off and read a LOT about Tcl - cool what a nice tool

and then i downloaded the tcl/tk sources and built with appropriate
configure options and installed it - in approprate places (in /usr/bin -
over the old copies that were already there) and ran the tests and
dowloaded some TCl samples and played with the apps

as i had been using the postgres 7.2 beta i reinstalled 7.13 over the
top - right from the start, reconfigured, recompiled, reinstalled,
reinitialised

and tried to call a tcl function yet again - but now i get this error

ERROR: pltcl: internal error - cannot create 'normal' interpreter

but hmm, that's further than i got before and at least the database does
not restart itself in the process

and in the code i have got one step further

any clues?

if ((pltcl_hold_interp = Tcl_CreateInterp()) == NULL)
{
elog(ERROR, "pltcl: internal error - cannot create 'hold' "
"interpreter");
}

/************************************************************
* Create the two interpreters
************************************************************/
if ((pltcl_norm_interp =
Tcl_CreateSlave(pltcl_hold_interp, "norm", 0)) == NULL)
{
elog(ERROR,
"*pltcl: internal error - cannot create 'normal' interpreter*");
}
