Description Sergio Pascual 2007-10-15 20:38:39 UTC
Description of problem:
Programs compiled with tktable don't find the libraries after compiling, because
the libraries aren't in the ldconfig search path. The package should add a file
in /etc/ld.so.conf.d

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tktable-2.9-9.fc6

Comment 1 Jean-Luc Fontaine 2007-10-18 11:10:06 UTC
tcl itself has no entry in /etc/ld.so.conf.d

Comment 2 Sergio Pascual 2007-10-18 11:34:29 UTC
But tcl library is in /usr/lib/libtk8.4.so 
It doesn't need an entry in /etc/ld.so.conf.d

Comment 3 Jean-Luc Fontaine 2007-10-24 06:35:53 UTC
I see tktable as a tcl package. Which rpm requires it as a C library?

Comment 4 Sergio Pascual 2007-10-24 08:31:16 UTC
I'm trying to package this software: http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/ds9/
I has a C++ source program that loads the tcl libraries and mixes them with
C/C++ code. It uses C code to load the libraries
  // Blt
  if (Blt_Init(interp) == TCL_ERROR)
    return TCL_ERROR;
  Tcl_StaticPackage (interp, "BLT", Blt_Init,
                     (Tcl_PackageInitProc*)NULL);

  // Tktable
  if (Tktable_Init(interp) == TCL_ERROR)
    return TCL_ERROR;
  Tcl_StaticPackage (interp, "Tktable", Tktable_Init,
                     (Tcl_PackageInitProc*)NULL);

  // Other tcl packages follow



Comment 5 Jean-Luc Fontaine 2007-10-24 09:00:43 UTC
I understand now. You may want to try to replace Tcl_StaticPackage by
Tcl_PkgRequire(interp, name, version, exact) since I no longer have the
resources to maintain tktable and blt rpms. If you know somebody who wants to
take over...
