Jose,
I'm facing some similar symptoms on my Linux (1.1.18) machine:
al-bundy: ~ 17:20 11>/usr/local/lib/stk/2.1.5/demos/browse.stk
A: Command not found.
This: Command not found.
directory: Command not found.
double-clicking.: Command not found.
This: Command not found.
Author:: Too many arguments.
al-bundy: ~ 17:20 12>
If I call stk with this script as input ("stk -f ..."), everything will
work fine. The first lines look like they should do:
#!/usr/local/bin/stk -f
;;;;
;;;; A simple STk browser
In the meantime I've found out, that this is due to the shell I use: if
I use bash instead of tcsh, calling the script will work just fine:
bash$ /usr/local/lib/stk/2.1.5/demos/browse.stk
bash$
Don't ask me for the reason for this weird behaviour, it's kind of a
mystery to me.
However, while going through the Tk-demo program widget.stk I discovered
some other strange things: if I select "scrollable canvas" in the
"Canvas" menu, I will get an error:
bash$ cd $HOME
bash$ /usr/local/lib/stk/2.1.5/demos/widget.stk
*** Error:
bad screen distance "ð"
**** Tk error ("") ""
Seems like this happens during setup of the canvas-widget and its items;
when ready for dialog, the canvas appears partly incomplete and doesn't
do anything in response to mouse movement over the items. _All_ other
items of the demo work (should say: seem to work in my view).
However, if I make a slight modification, everything will work:
bash$ cd /usr/local/lib/stk/2.1.5/demos
bash$ widget.stk
I've appended the contents of /usr/local/bin/stk. Looks like it should
do, I think.
I would like to hear of anybody, who has faced these problems too.
Perhaps there's someone who could make some comments or even found out
the reason(s). In fact, it's not that important _now_ :-] (most things _do_
work, and most of the time STk turns out to be a great thing :-] ).
yours
Hilmar
