Why does nobody ever try Tk-800.025 ? Show quoted text

Thanks for your comments. I've tried following your suggestions, which solved some of my naive problems, however I still can't install any version of Tk. [nick.ing-simmons@elixent.com - Wed Mar 17 09:04:23 2004]: Show quoted text

Ah, I tried installing in X11 rather than from Darwin and most of the tests passed fine. Sadly not all of them, and the installation failed. t/regexp.....................NOK 10# Failed test (t/regexp.t at line 47) # got: undef # expected: '4.5' t/regexp.....................NOK 11# Failed test (t/regexp.t at line 48) # got: '0' # expected: '3' t/regexp.....................ok 21/21# Looks like you failed 2 tests of 21. t/regexp.....................dubious Test returned status 2 (wstat 512, 0x200) DIED.
