From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.0.4-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: Tcl/tk installs in /usr/share/tk(version number) although programs which use these libraries seach /usr/local/lib or /usr/lib and therefore cannot find tcl/tk In addition installation of blt (an expension of tk) is placed in /usr/bin, not the same directory as tcl/tk and therefore will not work. A work around for this problem is to copy tk to a directory which is searched, such as /usr/lib. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install tk 2. 3. Additional info:
You want to have a symlink /usr/lib/{tcl,tk}ver -> /usr/share/{tcl,tk}ver ? Can you describe exactly how your trying to install blt? Which packages of tcl and tk are you using?
I am using tk8.4.7-2 build from an rpm and tcl 8.4.7-2 from an rpm Blt is also installed using an rpm (MOK repository) and installs correctly in /usr/bin. Although it would be useful if blt installed a symbolic link to the tk directories as the program I am using expects to find bltwish in the same directory as tk. I have no problem making a symbolic link, but it is annoying to have to. Is this a new fedora / red hat version issue (I see the same problem on EL4 and fedora core 3)? In other words, do I have to tell the makers of the software i'm trying to run to update where they search for tcl/tk libraries on newer linux versions?
blt is already in Fedora Extras. Could you try the Extras package please?
