xf4.0

Support knowledgebase (xf)
Applicable to
SuSE version: 4.4
Kernel version: all
Tcl version: 7.4
Tk version: 4.0
XF version: 4.0

Symptom:

During the xf start you get the following error message:
can't read "tcl_platform(platform)": no such variable

Cause:

The variable is only defined from Tk 4.1 on. However, the 4.0 is still contained in SuSE Linux 4.4.

Solution:

Add in /usr/X11R6/lib/tk4.0/tk.tcl the following line:
set tcl_platform(platform) "unix"

Hint:

Repaired from SuSE Linux 4.4.1 on.
Keywords: XF, TCL, TK
