Looks like there is a problem with exmh, we are getting a lot of these
types of questions:
EXMH is having trouble starting up on the workstation I am on. Here
is the error message that I'm given:
09:21 application-specific initialization failed: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
09:21 =/mit/tcl/lib/tcl7.5 /afs/sipb/project/lib/tcl7.5 /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/d/tcl7.5/library /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/d/t/library
09:21 This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.
09:21
09:21 can't read "tk_version": no such variable
09:21 while executing
09:21 "if {$tk_version < 3.3} {
09:21 puts stderr "Warning: EXMH requires Tk 3.3 through Tk 4.0."
09:21 exit 1
09:21 }"
09:21 (file "/mit/sipb/sun4bin/exmh" line 39)
The solution I have been giving is to
athena% setenv TCL_LIBRARY /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/tcl/lib/tcl7.4
athena% setenv TK_LIBRARY /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/tcl/lib/tk
and, if that does not work, type add tcl; exmh&.
Has exmh changed recently?
Thanks,
