package error

[Andre]

Hello Everyone,

I got the message error as below;
Tcl generated error at line 6:
can't find package smtp

How to make sure the package already in the library? If not found that how to add to library for this package?

Thank you

Cheers,

[Rich]

You need to install Tcllib.

If Tcllib is installed where tcl normally looks for packages, then Tcl
will find the smtp package.

If Tcllib is installed elsewhere, then you will need to tell Tcl where
to look for the alternate location of Tcllib using the global
"auto_path" list.

Hi Rich,

I have already installed and and try search in the lib directory for smtp word but not found. Where I get this file?

Thank you

You obviously did not try very hard:

$ find /usr/lib64/tcllib1.16/ | grep -i smtp
/usr/lib64/tcllib1.16/mime/smtp.tcl
/usr/lib64/tcllib1.16/smtpd
/usr/lib64/tcllib1.16/smtpd/smtpd.tcl
/usr/lib64/tcllib1.16/smtpd/pkgIndex.tcl

You will note that the smtp.tcl file is part of the mime package.

It would be a good start if he would get into Tclsh and do the following:
catch {foo}
parray tcl_platform
puts $auto_path
parray auto_index

The above will tell us a lot.

Mildly off-topic. I understand the rest, but I do not understand what
does "catch {foo}" tells us. I get the expected output of "1", as there
is no "foo" command here

A guess:
It should have maybe been "catch {package require foo}". After that,
"package names" tells you the available packages, because it causes Tcl
to traverse the auto_path:

Actually I was doing things a step at a time. What I wanted to see first
was his auto_index area to verify his install. Then I was going to next ask
for the package information.

It would additionally be helpful, if Andre told us what software he is
using to execute Tcl. This line:

> Tcl generated error at line 6:

leads me to the conclusion that he is using some software with an
embedded Tcl, not tclsh on its own. Additional good input could be

puts [info patchlevel]
puts [info nameofexecutable]

and, as you suggest

puts [join $auto_path \n]

(the join just makes it easier to read)

Hi All,

Please let me know that its will work if I just copy and paste the smtpd folder (smtpd.tcl & pkgIndex.tcl files included) to the tcl8.6 folder without install process?

Thank you

Just copy - no.

Do a proper install, that is the best way to make sure it "will work".
