tcl wish--simple configure problem

From

Hi,

I've got wish on my machine, but I can't do ./configure --with-tcl
I'm getting an error that says roughly, "wish is necessary for tcl".
I've set PATH_TO_WISH to the path to the "wish shell" application. Is
there some other environment variable I should be setting?  What is
the environment variable that PG looks for when it searches for wish?

TIA


Russ

I believe configure wants to find "wish" somewhere in your normal PATH.

Thanks Peter,  that got me a little further.

Anyone out there gotten pgAcess working on Mac OS X? I haven't been
able to make my way through a configure using the new 8.4 Tk
snapshots that are up on the sourceforge site.  I'm getting the
following error:
configure: error: file 'tkConfig.sh' is required for Tk

Russ,

are you using the 8.4a version. I got this from ADC news.


-----------
Apple is pleased to announce a native port of TK version 8.4a4 for Mac
OS X10.1. TK is a rapid application GUI toolkit used by Tcl, Perl, and
Python. The TK release allows script developers to run existing GUI
applications with a native Aqua look and feel directly on Mac OS X v10.1.
As part of Apple's ongoing commitment to Open Source, this port has been
released under a BSD-style license.  Apple's changes have been and will
continue to be submitted to the main Tcl/Tk CVS repository at
tcl.sourceforge.net.

This initial port only supports Tk for use with Tcl;  we are working on
integrating this into the main branch of Tk, and from there we expect it
to be integrated into the versions used with Perl and Python.
If you'd like to help, please join the discussions on darwin-
development@lists.apple.com.

Sincerely,
Ernest Prabhakar
Open Source Product Manager

Good bets would be

a) trying to locate the tkConfig.sh file on your system

b) looking in config.log or trying sh -x configure to see why it doesn't
find it

c) using the --with-tkconfig option
