Re: tcl/tk error in RedHat 7.3

[Pietro Terna]

        Dear Paul,

        in the last few day I made a lot of attempts to solve the problem 
below, both following your suggestions and in other directions, without 
success.

        A check about tcl/tk version: in my RedHat 7.3 box I've tcl and tk 
8.3.3-67

        What version do you have in yours Linux box?

        Yours, Pietro
