Description liganic2 2009-05-04 05:55:14 UTC

gitk fails with
/usr/bin/gitk: line 3: exec: wish: not found

when tk >= 8.5 is not installed.

The line in the ebuild should not be:
tk?     ( dev-lang/tk )
but:
tk?     ( >=dev-lang/tk-8.5 )

wish is a new part of tk and included since 8.5. The error is easily fixed with installing the new tk version.

Wish has been in TK longer than I've been programming computers.

# equery f dev-lang/tk
[ Searching for packages matching dev-lang/tk... ]
* Contents of dev-lang/tk-8.4.19-r1:
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/wish -> wish8.4
/usr/bin/wish8.4

gitk works just fine with wish from TK-8.4 here.

Please include more of your emerge --info and error output.

Comment 2 liganic2 2009-05-04 20:31:53 UTC

I am sorry, I remerged tk-8.4 and wish is now where it should be. (It definitely wasn't there before!). Also don't trust Ubuntu user forums about tk etc. ;)
Sorry for the trouble caused.
