Entry boxes still too big - Version: 8.4.10, 6/7/2005 09:29AM PST

Beware: Entry boxes are still too big (at least as of an 8.4.10 prerelease I tried yesterday). The text in them has a huge and unwelcome margin around it. This is a tk bug that first showed up in the 8.4.9.1 binary installer.
If you use entry boxes (as most tk users do) I suggest you stick to 8.4.9.0 for now. Or if you run MacOS X 10.4 and don't need extra tcl/tk extensions included in the "BI" package, stick to the built in aqua tcl/tk.
(Also, Apple's installer has a bug that causes it to crash sometimes when scrolling through the configuration options. The "BI" version of the installer is one of the few installers that has enough items in it to expose this bug.)

Which Tcl/Tk? - Version: 8.4.9.1, 5/30/2005 07:10AM PST

Setup:
1 Mac with 10.3 client
1 linux box
I want to run a X11 application on the Mac and display it on the linux box via X11 tunneled through ssh.
However, this application requires tkinter, which is not included in 10.3 (it is included in 10.4 but I can't upgrade right now). Which Tcl/Tk should I install? I have read a lot of FAQ:s and other documentation for tcltkaqua but I don't understand it.
Obviously, I don't need the app to be displayed with native Mac OS X look'n'feel and I don't need to develop in Tcl/Tk. Is tcltkaua even the right thing for me? I am a little suspicious, my guess would be that I should look for some X11-version of Tcl/Tk for my specific purposes.
Anyone know what to do?
Thanks

you added blt? - Version: 8.4.9.1, 5/4/2005 03:53PM PST

If this works with blt, I may have to kiss you.
I built python 2.4 against the previous version of this, and the Tkinter GUI launches FIVE TIMES faster than with the X-windows version, even on my G5 with 2x2.5 GHz processors.
I'm very impressed already. This version can only be better. In anticipation, I give it a 5.

bug in 8.4.5b1 installer - Version: 8.4.5b1, 1/15/2004 01:40AM PST

there is a bug in the full BI installer that causes it to install tclAE2.0 into the root directory of your hard drive instead of into /Library/Tcl. You can manually fix this by saying
sudo mv /tclAE2.0 /Library/Tcl
in Terminal after installation.
sorry about that, this will be fixed in the final 8.4.5 installer

This thing installs fine, but the one thing I want Tk for is the Python ImageTk package. However, when I tested a script that came with PIL and uses tkinter, it failed upon importing _imagingtk. Why doesn't that work?

Installation error... - Version: 8.4.5b1, 1/14/2004 08:03AM PST

I got an installation error with TclTkAquaBI-8.4.5.0b1-Panther:
Repeating the installation process only repeats the error.
I'm running Panther 10.3.2 having full Apple development system and a former release of Tcl/Tk-Aqua installed.
"Bei der Installation sind Fehler aufgetreten.
Bitte versuchen Sie die Installation erneut."

It is impossible to download Tickle since the site generates a posix error, both sites that is.
Too bad I have been using tickle since 1997, and this version for aqua just was missing.

You might be better off sticking with an all PowerPC installation if you need a library that's only in the BI distribution or check out the ActiveTCL package. It has many, but not all of the BI packages in them and is available for Intel and PPC. Fink is also an option to bring your whole Tcl install together on your platform.
