I'm trying to use your tclkit builds with pre-existing starkits.   The
aqua version, downloaded from the above link, appears to insert extra
layers in the path to some components, so whereas in the starkit vfs
we have:

lib/Packages/combobox.tcl

the aqua tclkit looks for:

lib/tcl8.4/lib/Packages/combobox.tcl

and can't find it.

If I try the X11 version (you do mean that this is self-contained and
doesn't need an X11 installation, don't you?)

%package require Tk

throws an error: it can't find /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib.


We are rather hoping the X11 version will allow non-techie Mac
users to run our starkits unaltered from the Unix and Windows
version - most of what we do is one-time download, use and discard
by people with only the vaguest acquaintance with a computer.

Thanks for your help.
