Bug 58730 – tclx fails to build with Error: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.4, need 8.3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jan Jitse Venselaar 2004-07-29 01:15:48 UTC]

Should I downgrade or something? I'm a bit wary of up or downgrading tcl, as I heard a lot about incompatibilities between versions for tcl.

1.emerge unmerge tclx  (As per ebuild warning
2.emerge tclx

I'm currently trying to duplicate your problem on two separate systems and am unable to thus far.

which version of tcl/tk do you currently have on yours system? Which version of tk do you have?

I'm assuming 8.4.6.

If you've got any additional information, it'd be very handy.

Experimental Tclx 8.3.5 ebuild

I found a slightly newer tclx and changed it to compile against the latest
current versions of tcl and tk as well as corrected the homepage for the
package.

Try this ebuild... I didn't have to unmerge my old tclx install to get this one
to work. So maybe a version upgrade will kill two birds with one stone.

Let me know how this ebuild works for you.

Created attachment 36920 [details]
New tclx 8.3.5 ebuild with fixes for bug 46565.

Includes clean up of warning that's no longer needed.

[Comment 4 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2004-08-07 09:50:21 UTC]

Ebuild is now in Portage. Reopen the bug if the problem persists.

[Comment 5 Jonathan GIll 2004-09-09 18:45:17 UTC]

When trying to upgrade the tclx lib get the following.

Error: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.4, need 8.3
    (while initializing TclX)
    while
initializing application (Tcl_AppInit?)
make[1]: *** [tcl.tndx] Error 255

tcl 8.4.6 is installed, and was put there when the system did a world update.

emerge tclx tcl -vp

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Jon,

Please try to unmerge tclx and then re-emerge it again and let me know how that works.

[Comment 7 Jonathan GIll 2004-09-16 20:23:46 UTC]

unemerge then re-emerge seems to work.

Its now not complaining about version issues.

Thanks

[Comment 8 Jonathan GIll 2004-09-16 20:24:51 UTC]

seems to work after the unemerge then re-emerge.

Thanks

[Comment 9 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2004-10-30 17:21:04 UTC]

Fixed.
