problems with the wish command


hi i installed the rpm's for tcl & tk and the wish command still wont work . does anyone know why this is ?
also does the wish command come as part of tcl or tk or both together, OR does it come from something totally different ?

any advice would be greatly apricated.

To the best of my knowledge wish is part of
Tk ... have a
rpm -ql <tk> | grep wish


Cheers,
Tink

Sorry ... <tk> is a placeholder for the
actual name of your tk-package in the
rpm database. It's not meant to be typed
like that.

In general, if people (programmers) here
give you a command things in square brackets
[] are optional parameters, things in <> are
parameters, neither symbols are to be typed.


Cheers,
Tink
