Re: [Swarm-Support] missing simtoolsgui classes RH 9.0

[Derek Messie]

ok, looks like problem still has something to do with tk/tcl
packages.
I ended up reinstalling the following rpm's :

tcl-8.3.5-i386.rpm
tk-8.3.5-i386.rpm
blt-2.4u-7.i386.rpm (from Paul's RH 9.0 page)
swarm-2.1.147.200030812-2RH9.0.i386.rpm (from Paul's RH9.0 page)
swarm-jdk-2.1.147.20030812-2RH9.0.i386.rpm (from Paul's RH9.0
page)

The rest of the recommended rpm's are also already
installed.    Compile using "javacswarm *.java"
works fine now.  Problem is that I am still receiving following
error when trying to run "javaswarm StartHeatbugs" :

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
error: TkExtra (instance)

/usr/bin/javaswarm: line 1: 12077 Aborted
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

I see this error referenced all over the support pages and I have tried
many of the suggested solutions that I thought made sense,
including:  

1)  made sure DISPLAY, TCL_LIBRARY, TK_LIBRARY, BLT_LIBRARY, etc.
were all set properly.


My guess is that is still has something to do with tcl/tk paths. 
Since I am using binaries for everything, is it possible that BLT is
expecting different versions and/or locations of tcl and/or tk ??? 
Tcl and Tk are the only rpm's that Paul does not supply on the RH9.0
page.  Can I perhaps set up a link or something from the tk/tcl
directory that blt is checking to the /usr/lib/tk8.3 and /usr/lib/tcl8.3
directories where tk and tcl sit ???


Any and all help on this is Greatly appreciated ...
