What version is your ActiveTCL installation ? can you make sure that it's 'bin' directory was populated in %PATH%? AFAIR activetcl should populate PATH with its bin; the mentioned tclsh should be there will you please go into activetcl installation directory, and show us output of 'dir' command there? thanks

Hi Vadim, ActiveTCL is the latest (8.6.8). I am using cpanm Tcl to install 'bin# seems to be now in PATH. However, installation fails at the beginning. The messages do not help me any further: cpanm (App::cpanminus) 1.7044 on perl 5.028000 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread Work directory is /.cpanm/work/1551733092.2060 You have make C:\berrybrew\5.28.0_32\c\bin\gmake.exe You have LWP 6.35 Falling back to Archive::Tar 2.30 Searching Tcl () on cpanmetadb ... --> Working on Tcl Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/V/VK/VKON/Tcl-1.27.tar.gz -> OK Unpacking Tcl-1.27.tar.gz Entering Tcl-1.27 Checking configure dependencies from META.json Checking if you have ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.58 ...

in the file C:/ActiveTcl/lib/tclConfig.sh find a line TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC='.....' edit it TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC='-IC:\ActiveTcl\include' ...and the rerun I wonder why it wasn't correct after installation? Probably you should file a bur report to activestate

Message body is not shown because it is too large.

only these 2 are relevant: TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC TCL_LIB_SPEC no need to edit other ok what is in your directory C:/ActiveTcl/bin/ ? is there a file C:/ActiveTcl/bin/tcl86t.dll?

Yes, I already check that because of 'failed dlopen(C:/ActiveTcl/bin/tcl86t.dll,...);', tcl86t.dll is there (I also tried deactivating Antivirus... not that it was blocked by it).

then the guess is that your perl is 32bit and tcl is 64bit

And your guess is right. I just noticed that there no ActiveTcl 32bit. Switching to Perl 64bit let me installed the module. Thank you, Vadim. Am Di., 5. März 2019 um 12:19 Uhr schrieb Vadim Konovalov via RT < bug-Tcl@rt.cpan.org>: Show quoted text
