Writing TK in linux ?? 1

[yaronb]

Hi,
I'm learning Tcl/Tk and wants to work on LINUX (redhat 7.0)

How can I write in Tk ? each time I'm trying to write a command from the TK library (such as "frame","button&quot in the tcl shell, I'm getting an error ...

Can any one help ??

Thanx...

here is a simple code that creates a list and a button:

proc about {w prog args} {
if {[winfo exist $w]==1} {
switch -- [wm state $w] {
normal {
raise $w
}
withdrawn -
iconified {
wm deiconify $w
}
}
} else {
toplevel $w
wm title $w "About $prog"
set mainFrame [frame $w.names]
if {$args==""} {
set args {"not available"}
}
foreach item $args {
label $mainFrame.$item -text $item
pack $mainFrame.$item
}
set secondaryFrame [frame $w.bottom]
button $secondaryFrame.close -text Close -command "wm withdraw $w"
pack $secondaryFrame.close

pack $mainFrame -side top
pack $secondaryFrame -side bottom
}
}

It runns under windows - BUT - "invalid commands" in linux...
(I'm running it under the tcl program...)

Can you help ?

Make sure you execute your script with the "wish" interpreter, not the "tclsh" (sometimes aliases just to "tcl&quot interpreter. tclsh understands only Tcl commands; wish supports Tcl plus the Tk extension for building GUIs. - Ken Jones, President
