in reply to Mac OS X 10.2 and Tk

It seems like I have followed all the instructions to get Tk working on my mac powerbook and it still fails.

You might be interested in the Tkl/Tk Aqua, which apparently now supports Perl (although I've not had a chance to try it out myself yet). Includes a nice binary installation to save you the effort of compilation :-)

    I tried the Tkl/Tk Aqua and couldn't figure out how to add support. I tried the man -k again. I went back through the code and found an error crop up several times that I think is the root of my problem.

    ld: undefined symbols:
    I assume this means my perl install or path is setup incorrectly. I am going to investigate this possibility further.
      I erased the hard drive and installed 10.3, which comes with perl 5.8 installed. I installed xcode, X11, set my PATH, etc and it still failed. I went back and manually installed the X11SDK from the xcode installs and rebooted. When I rebooted Tk installed no problem. Hope this helps the next poor guy to try this. ;)
