Seems that I will have to downgrade tcl 8.5 back to tcl 8.4.... can they be both present in my system...?

I Have downgraded Python 2.6.2 to Python 2.5.2 in order for Code Aster to compile... without any major problems... can the same hackery be performed with tcl...?

Strangest thing is that Tcl 8.5 is allowed to build Scilab, or ScicosLab...

Tcl 8.5 is the default of Slackware 64 13... never tikered with that... so, how come tcl.h is for 8.4... ???

Delete the manifest checking out of the slackbuild. There appears to be a problem with it. Once I removed it, it built correctly.

About python : More than one version is OK :
.. but only one /usr/bin/python

.....

About tcl : Two or more "runtime" is OK.
.. but only one /usr/bin/tclsh ( link )
.. and of course one /usr/lib/libtcl.so


'tcl-8.4.18' ( like the slack 12.1 version ) provides
/usr/include/tcl.h
/usr/bin/tclsh8.4

'tcl-8.5.7' in Slackware 13 provides /usr/include/tcl.h ,
other Linux's : /usr/include/tcl8.5/tcl.h
.. and 'tcl-8.5.7' provides /usr/bin/tclsh8.5
.....
.....

ScicosLab :
the 'git clone' is supposed to be the latest bug fixed version.
ScicosLab requires /usr/bin/g77 , and compiles with no errors
using either tcl-8.4.x or tcl-8.5.7
.....

I did so... and it progressed a lot further, but aborted at the patch thing...

Is it safe to remove the patch thing from scilab.SlackBuild...?

Hi Knudfl, I did so...

Yeah I think I took out the patch too. Sorry I didn't mention before. After that, it made a package, I installed it.. and scilab appears to work normally...

I'm not using scilab in a production environment either -- mostly as a toy, so if you are -- you may want to look into what the patch is for.

Hope this helps,
