in reply to Installing Tk on Strawberry

The installation starts, I see all sort of GUI widget displayed ...

That's just the tests running.

Failed 2/75 test programs. 2/4584 subtests failed.

No such problem for me on Windows 7, Strawberry 5.26.0.
What version of Windows are you running, and what does perl -v output for you ?

I think you could go ahead and install the module, anyway. Just force the installation ( cpan -fi Tk ) or cd to the directory in which Tk was built and run gmake install

It would, of course, be good to also get some understanding of what's going wrong here. I couldn't quickly spot any bug reports at https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Tk that seemed relevant to the 2 failures you're seeing.

Cheers,
Rob

    Hi,

    Looks like position/geometry related, weird to fail, but not a big deal

    listbox.t#L1553 

    t\list.t ..................... ok

#   Failed test at t\listbox.t line 1553.
#                   '25x10+0+0'
#     doesn't match '(?^:20x10\+\d+\+\d+)'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 537.
t\listbox.t .................. 
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
