curt has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am trying to get Perl/Tk to work on my Alpha/OSF system
(Compaq DS20 running Tru64 Unix 4.0F).
I am using perl 5.6.0 and Tk800_021.
I gunzip and untar the download, then I do
"perl Makefile.PL",
then I do
"make"
- so far, so good.
But when I do
"make test"
I get complaints about something called "GC" already being
"registered" in something called "Tk_GetGC". I freely
admit that this means nothing to me.
"make install" succeeds without complaint - but if I try
the simplest "hello world" type program it chokes. If I
run it with the -T flag I get a complaint that something
is tainted in Tk/MainWindow.pm. Without the -T (but with -w)
I get a message saying "Tcl_Panic at
/usr/local/ ... Tk/Widget.pm".
Please, someone help me!
