Subject: Tkinter (Win98) Bombs but Tcl/Tk is OK
I've got two Win machines, with identical vrsions of Tcl/Tk and Python.
The Win98 laptop fails to run tkinter -- i can do this:
import _tkinter
import Tkinter
no problem, but when I hit
Tkinter._test()
it fails (as do all Tkinter programs), bombing in _tkinter.create()
saying:
TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
() ./lib/tcl8.0 C:/tcl8.0/library {C:/Program Files/library}
Where is it getting this? I have tcl installed in C:\Program Files\Tcl
and it works flawlessly. I've uninstalled, re-installed, changed
installation ordering, made sure that the autoexec paths are correct...
???
As I say, Tcl/Tk DOES work fine -- I use it for development on that
laptop regularly, and the Tcl version is a new one
Does it work with version 8.0.5 that comes with the Win installer?The Win98 laptop fails to run tkinter -- i can do this:
