in thread Using GIS/Shapefiles with Perl Tk Widgets

How are you trying install it? From the module on CPAN, the downloadable tarball from TkZinc.org, or an RPM for some specific distribution? Zinc was originally made for TCL, but has been ported to Perl. If you use the module from CPAN, it should work. The tarball from TkZinc.org is designed for TCL and has a special subdir for building the Perl/Tk version.... read the README that is in the Perl subdir, run export2cpan, then build according to instructions.

    I am trying to install the CPAN module and am getting this error when make install:

    And I get this error when I try to run a program involving Zinc: 
    Tk::Zinc object version 800.025 does not match bootstrap parameter 804

      You seem to have a couple of problems. One is you don't have any OpenGL installed, so you will need to build it without OpenGL. Read the README file on installing, you can use "perl Makefile.PL --with-gl=no"

      The second error seems to indicate you are using the old 800 version of Tk, where Zinc wants the latest Tk-804. Now I don't know if you have multiple Tk versions on your system, or what?

        Looking at the Synaptic Package Manager in the Ubuntu Distro searching Tk shows that only tk-8.4 is installed. Any other way I can check to see if Tk is installed?
