Re: tcl/tk error in RedHat 7.3

[Paul E Johnson]

Dear Pietro


I have the same tcl/tk that you  do, the ones from the standard RH 7.3 
distribution.


So let me see if I understand your situation correctly.

You have started with a "clean" RH 7.3 system, and then installed from 
my rpms:

1. gcc3-3.0.4
2. hdf5
3. Swarm


And you are able to run Objective-C, but when you get the SUn self 
extracting binary package (not the rpm one) install the Sun JDK in 
/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0, then you cannot "make" or run things like jheatbugs?

Can I see the output of what happens if you cd into the heatbugs dir and do:


$ export SWARMHOME=/usr
$ make
$ javaswarm StartHeatbugs

Also, it might help to see the output of

$ eval javaswarm


My output is like this:

_JAVASWARM_LIBPATH="/usr/lib/swarm::/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=":/usr/lib:/usr/lib/swarm:/usr/X11R6/lib:"
CLASSPATH=".:/usr/share/swarm/swarm.jar:/usr/share/swarm/kawa.jar:/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/rt.jar:"
export _JAVASWARM_LIBPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH CLASSPATH
