I'm new to paraview.
I installed paraview-2.4.4_6 on FreeBSD 8.0-beta2 SMP ia64.
I launch the server as:

% pvserver --use-offscreen-rendering
Listen on port: 11111
Waiting for client...

then I launch the client and get this error:

TZAV> pvclient
Connect to localhost:11111

This probably means that tk wasn't installed properly.

I've tcl-8.4.19_3,1 and tk-8.4.19_2,2 installed.

Any advice?

many thanks
