Some more testing. I've been testing the demos in the demo dir of blt. They seem
to work in fedora 8 with tcl 8.4, but they don't work in fedora 9.
Just one example, spline.tcl fails with this output:
Error in startup script: unknown namespace in import pattern "blt::tile::*"
while executing
"namespace import -force blt::tile::*"
invoked from within
"if { $tcl_version >= 8.0 } {
namespace import blt::*
namespace import -force blt::tile::*
}"
(file "./spline.tcl" line 23)
Definitively, there's something wrong with blt in fedora 9
*** Bug 447690 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Changing severity to high, as this breaks ds9 in fedora 9 Is this site helps us? http://reddog.s35.xrea.com/wiki/A%20Stub-enabled%20BLT2.4z%20for%20Windows.html Or this site? http://jos.decoster.googlepages.com/bltfortk8.5.2 Compilation of the tarball from #5 failled. There's also a new blt version 3.0 in sourceforge's blt cvs. I could compile it, but it isn't working nonetheless. I have managed to build the code from #5. I'm going to produce a patch and create a new release of blt blt-2.4-28.z.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9 blt-2.4-28.z.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update blt'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/FEDORA-2008-4710 I have tested blt-2.4-28.z.fc9 and basically works fine. But some examples and demos returns segmentation fault. We hope newer version of BLT which supports Tcl/Tk 8.5 will be released. Many thanks. blt-2.4-28.z.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. blt-2.4-28.z.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 stable repository.

Description of problem I was testing ds9 in fedora 9. The version of ds9 in f8 and f9 is ds9-5.1-4 In f9 ds9 fails to start with the following message: Error in startup script: invalid command name "blt::graph" while executing "blt::graph $ds9(main).horz -title {} -width $canvas(width) -height $graph(size) -takefocus 0 -bd 0 -relief flat -rightmargin $graph(gap,x) -leftm..." (procedure "CreateGraphs" line 7) invoked from within "CreateGraphs" (file "/usr/share/ds9/src/ds9.tcl" line 1514) After some research, I found this page: http://wiki.tcl.tk/199 It says that loading BLT after Tk loads the full interface (including blt::graph) but loading alone loads only BLTLite, with only the commands that can be used in tcl. But with blt 2.4 these are my results: promt> tclsh % package require BLT 2.4 % info commands blt::* ::blt::tree ::blt::crc32 ::blt::bltdebug ::blt::bgexec ::blt::spline ::blt::vector ::blt::watch promt> tclsh % package require Tk 8.5.1 % package require BLT 2.4 % info commands blt::* ::blt::tree ::blt::crc32 ::blt::bltdebug ::blt::bgexec ::blt::spline ::blt::vector ::blt::watch I get the same commands, no clue of blt::graph
