Hi, Byron:
Thank you for pointing this out for me!
I have checked the Enviroment Variables on my computer following your =
instruction and I found there is one variable called "Path" and its =
value is "C:\Tcl\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual =
Studio\Common\Tools;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual =
Studio\Common\Msdev98\BIN;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual =
Studio\DF98\BIN;C:\Prog........... ". I cheked the first one =
"C:\Tcl\bin;" is the correct path for TCL. So, should I set another =
variable called "TCL_LIBRARY" pointing to the same path? I'm kind of =
reluctant to change the default system setting..........
...Tao
This is USUALLY set by ActiveTcl...However, if you have Ruby installed
this will be all screwed up (I found this out the hard way). You can set
the environment variable youself in under Win2K/XP by going to the =
System
control panel and selecting the Advanced tab. There should be a button
labeled 'Environment Variables' where you can either set or modify
TCL_LIBRARY to the appropriate path.
