Re: [Help-smalltalk] NetBSD/1.6//I386/installation problem

[address@hidden]

OK Paolo,
tcl and tk are (and were) installed.
the pb comes from the configure option i used with 
--with-tcl=/usr/pkg/lib/tcl8.3 instead of --with-tcl=/usr/pkg/lib
Now the ./configure declares that tcl/tk are installed. OK

I purged the build directory and untar the version 2.1.4,....
Under dagerm, i performed the following :
./configure
gmake
gmake check
I use su to become id0
gmake install
Gotcha! no error

Under XFCE using root id and in /root,...
i ran gst without argument and exit ==> OK
gst -qK browser/Run.st
....
....
Run.st failed in line 44 with the message "Invalid scope resolution"

It's late, (time to mke stupid things,.. we have to go bed.
......
......
Well, we restarted this morning with a coffee,....

<< as a std user >>
1. Purging $HOME/smalltalk, untar the tgz file, going to the Smalltalk 
directory.
2. ./configure --enable-modules --with-tcl=/usr/pkg/lib 
--with-tk=/usr/pkg/lib
3. gmake,... OK
4. gmake check,..... OK
<< su root >>
5. gmake install OK but complains that it has NO X Display , Mmm, X is 
not running :-) ,....  OK
6. exit
7. Login as a std user
8. Run XFCE
9. in a terminal view , launch gst -qK browser/Run.st
GOTCHA! we have a Transcript


CONCLUSION FOR NETBSD/I386

1. Configure is unable to "see" tcl and tk well installed in the system
2. Configure is not able to see it's using a wrong standard make instead 
of the GNU gmake
3. The online html documentation speak about running an obsolete "gst 
-qK " blox/Run.st", this seems to useful to see the documentation 
following the code ( i know, i know, we want all that stuff,..)

We can also conclude that a nice night and a good coffee increase the 
performance of the coupe Human/Machine :-)

I'd like to thanks Markus and Paolo for their simple question moving a 
newbies like me on the right way to successed.

Last, i'll tried this afternoon on my Sun/Sparc and later on my others 
systems, i 'll write a minute to Paolo and the mailing list if and only 
if i see something interested.

regards , Dagerm
