I had the same problem with tkman under 4.0. I ended up changing the
first few lines of /usr/bin/tkman as follows:
----- original -------------
#! /bin/csh -f
# the next line restarts using wish \\
exec /usr/bin/wish $0 $*
set manx(version) 1.7.3
----- replaced with -------------
#! /usr/bin/wish
set manx(version) 1.7.3
set manx(newuser) ""
---------------------------
As you can see, the original is a csh script in which csh executes only
one line, exec'ing /usr/bin/wish on the same file. The new version of
wish (apparently) tries to execute the 'exec' line as well, and chokes.
My replacement eliminates the csh middleman, and seems to work (at least
with no command line args, which I haven't tested).
