WISH Command Console 2011

#1 Post by pa_mcclamrock »

WISH Command Console (http://www.pa-mcclamrock.com/papenguins ... ml#wishcon) is a simple, Tcl-based, Unix-type command-line console, requiring Tcl (http://www.pa-mcclamrock.com/tcl-8.5.6-v1.pet), Tk (http://www.pa-mcclamrock.com/tk-8.5.6.pet), and Gnocl (http://www.pa-mcclamrock.com/gnocl-0.9.95-20110429.pet). It can run single-line and multiple-line Tcl/Tk/Gnocl commands, as well as many (though not quite all) common Unix commands. Features include the following:

* GTK+ text widget offers great flexibility in editing single- or multiple-line expressions.

* Command history listbox allows quick review and re-running of numerous past commands.

* Multiple programs can be listed and then run with a single click.

* "Kill" button allows an unresponsive program window to be bumped off with a single click by xkill (included in package).

* Word wrap can be applied or un-applied to lines.

* Expressions in commands and output can be searched for.

* Code can easily be saved in files.

Pa:

Code: Select all

# ./wishcon
Error in startup script: couldn't read file "/usr/local/lib/wishes/commonprocs.tcl": no such file or directory
    while executing
"source [file join $libdir commonprocs.tcl]"
    (file "./wishcon" line 56)

OK, I see what the problem is. :oops: I put commonprocs.tcl in the wrong place in the package: /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/local/lib/wishes. Uploaded fixed package to website, and attached it to this message too.

Pa,
Have you tried running some of your wish apps through Wish Command Console?

It will show errors reported by programs run through it.

I have had the Wish Binary file viewer fail with error messages about not being able to find color themes or some thing to that effect.

It works fine on my system:

Code: Select all

% wishbinvu &

Please try it again and let me know the exact error message you get; I'm pretty sure the problem can be solved.
