Wrong Tcl version

[gusano]

Osx users reported the following error:

UNHANDLED ERROR: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.4, need 8.5
    while executing
"package require Tcl 8.5"
    ("uplevel" body line 27)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $tclcode"
FAILED TO LOAD /Users/joe/Library/Pd/completion-plugin.tcl

It looks like a manual upgrade of Tcl is needed.

Pd-extended 0.43.4 includes Tcl/Tk 8.5.11 in it, so that should not happen with Pd-extended. With Pd vanilla, it uses the version of Tcl/Tk which is built-in to Mac OS X. For Mac OS X 10.6 and newer, that's Tcl/Tk 8.5.7. For 10.5 and older, that's 8.4.

The user who reported this via email uses pd-0.44.1 on osx 10.8.2.

Sounds like a bug to report to Miller in the Pd bug tracker. http://bugs.puredata.info I see no reason to support Tcl/Tk 8.4 any more.

Hi folks, I'm having this problem on Mac OSX 10.11.4, how can I go over it?
I did try with Tcl/Tk 8.5 and 8.6 too. any advice?

@balandinodidonato can you please post the error or is it the same one?

[balandinodidonato]

@gusano it should be the same one:

UNHANDLED ERROR: version conflict for package "Tk": have 8.4, need 8.5
while executing
"package require Tk 8.5"
("uplevel" body line 10)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $tclcode"

@balandinodidonato Thx. It looks like you have tcl-8.4 also installed somewhere.. I have no osx machine to try right now. If pd comes with tcl-8.4 then you should submit a bug to Miller.

[balandinodidonato]

mm yes I guess it is the case. I did post it but please if you get an osx machine and you can reproduce the bug please let me know or comment here: https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/bugs/1241/#

@balandinodidonato IOhannes is right, the problem comes from search-plugin.tcl (misread your error log, sorry...) ;)
