Still No Answer

[Steven G. Smith]

Hi,

I have not tracked down what exactly is causing this problem but
removing the "special hack" for the Sun worked for me
(TCL/TK 8.3, SunPro 5.0).  

Around line 54 in tkAppInit.cxx:

/*
 * The following variable is a special hack that is needed in order for
 * Sun shared libraries to be used for Tcl.
 */
#if 0
extern "C" int matherr();
int *tclDummyMathPtr = (int *) matherr;
#endif

Hope this helps,

Steve
