The first version of ActiveTcl to be built natively for Intel Macs was ActiveTcl 8.4.13.0. Versions before this version were built specifically for PowerPC-based Macs. It may be possible to run the PowerPC version on the Intel Macs, taking advantage of the PowerPC emulation layer in OS X; however, this tends to be quite slow. Therefore, we recommend only using the Intel-specific builds of ActiveTcl 8.4.13.0 or higher on an Intel Mac. For each build of ActiveTcl 8.4.13.0 and higher there are two files. One file specifies macosx-powerpc, and is of course the build for PowerPC-based Mac OS X systems. The other file specifies macosx-ix86, and is the correct package to install on your Intel Mac.
