  • Intall Tcl/Tk on Mac M1

    From Westermeyer@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 20 23:29:51 2022
    Hello,
    I've got another Mac question - I'm installing from source (8.6.12), and I did so hoping I could put it alongside the default 8.5 version that comes pre-installed on the M1. It *almost* worked. Is there a way to remove 8.5? Any help appreciated,
    Steve

    Do you have to remove the other version? Macs are pretty decent
    about allowing ~/Library/Frameworks (with libs and includes) and
    ~/bin with appropriate environ variables in .profile to override
    outside versions. In the dark days of SVID it could be a pain,
    but modern unices are better about library versions in paths and
    environment redirects to allow multiple independent installations.

    I run into the following after "sudo make install":
    ERROR: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.9, need 8.6-
    If running this script from 'make html', set the NATIVE_TCLSH environment variable to point to an installed tclsh8.6 (or the equivalent tclsh86.exe
    on Windows).
    make[3]: *** [html-tcl] Error 1
    make[2]: *** [install-strip] Error 2
    make[1]: *** [install-tcl] Error 2
    make: *** [install-deploy] Error 2

    Nevermind, found the answer here:

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16886895/tcl-8-6-installation-issue-on-mac-os-x-lion

    the NATIVE_TCLSH variable goes on the command line, rather than in the zsh configuration file...
