[opensuse] version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.2, need exactly 8.5
Hi! I installed recently SUSE 11.0 on my computer. The installation succeded. Until now I was using SUSE 10.3 and all my developed applications worked well under this (and earlier) distribution. I developed, among others, some applications using the OmNet++, a discret event simulation environment. The problem occured when I tryed to compile and install OmNet++, since it is using TCL/TK package and an extension of it: the BLT packages. The installation reveals that the problem resides in SUSE 11.0 distribution. Executing /usr/bin/bltsh or /usr/bin/bltsh24 you get the following message:
/usr/bin/bltsh application-specific initialization failed: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.2, need exactly 8.5
The distribution contains a version of blt2.4z (351.1) that seems to be incompatible with the TCL 8.5.2-15.1 (I tested the OmNeT++ installation by downloading the older TCL/TK 8.5.0 versions and there are no errors.) Does somebody know how to solve the problem? Some patches ? The matter is urgent for me, and I would appreciate a quick answer. Thank you very much in advance.

I, too, use Tcl/Tk. I was considering upgrading my Tcl to the latest greatest, but I found that BLT (Bell Labs Toolkit) is not working in the latest tcl/tk. Seems no one is interested (slight exaggeration here). I cannot guess why. BLT is a very powerful plotting utility. The good folk at ActiveState say that a big part of the problem is that BLT does not follow the TEA guidelines for an extension. As such, they themselves will not include it in their ActiveTcl release. When ActiveState do this, the extension generally will work with the current Tcl/Tk release. I can't believe that the Tcl/tk community will let BLT die. But it currently is not compatible with he current Tcl/tk release. The only thing openSUSE could do is provide a complete Tcl/Tk release based on the last version where BLT worked. My information on this is probably more than one month old, so maybe things have changed. I surely hope so! -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

It is like talking about large city with all constructions finished.
