Description orionbelt2 2024-06-06 09:41:47 UTC
sci-astronomy/ds9-bin-7.4 fails to start, apparently fails to look for init.tcl in the right (?) directory (lib64 instead of lib):

% ds9
application-specific initialization failed: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories: 
    ./zvfsmntpt/tcl8.6 /tmp/linux64/saods9/lib/tcl8.6 /usr/lib/tcl8.6 /lib/tcl8.6 /usr/library /library /tcl8.6.4/library /tcl8.6.4/library



This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

Error in startup script: couldn't read file "./zvfsmntpt/library/ds9.tcl": no such file or directory


% locate init.tcl
/usr/lib64/blt2.5/init.tcl
/usr/lib64/tcl8.6/init.tcl


% equery l tcl
 * Searching for tcl ...
[IP-] [  ] dev-lang/tcl-8.6.13-r1:0/8.6

% equery l tk
 * Searching for tk ...
[IP-] [  ] dev-lang/tk-8.6.13:0/8.6

Problem persists with tcl & tk 8.6.14.

There is an old bug report of the same problem but concerning the source version of ds9 that used to be available at the time; not sure it is still relevant: https://bugs.gentoo.org/208965
