Are X11R6 and Tcl/Tk bundled with CDAT?
• CDAT does not come with its own X11R6. On most platforms, X11R6 is located at: /usr/X11R6. The CDAT GUI and graphics packages (Tcl/Tk, VCS, Xmgrace, etc) must have X11R6. Therefore, if X11R6 is not in the standard location, then you will need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the libraries. On some platforms, X11R6 does *not* come with the developer libraries (i.e., *.a files). If you cd to /usr/X11R6/lib and don’t see the *.a files, then you need to install the *.a files into this directory. • By default, CDAT builds Python with Tcl/Tk. Optionally, you can build your own Python without Tcl/Tk and build the rest of CDAT in expert mode. This can be accomplished by using the –disable-tkbuild flag while building CDAT. In either case, Python must have Tcl/Tk in order to run Tkinter, and Pmw. It is not recommended that you use –disable-tkbuild unless you know that you want to use the standard Tcl/Tk on that system (e.g., on the Mac OS platform, you can use Tcl/TK Aqua).
