How to actually use teacup pkgs under Ubuntu

[Dave]

I want to get a script developed on win7 working on ubuntu.
I successfully installed ubuntu on a portable HD
I downloaded ActiveState's 8.6 64-bit linux install pkg
I unpacked and 'sudo ./install.sh'; it installed to /opt/Active...
I added /opt/Active.../bin to my PATH

I start wish and say 'package require Img'
Not found.
It's in my windows install from ActiveState?
So I tried (I think sudo) teacup install Img
Got a bunch of msgs that seemed to say it was already there

My questions:
Is it there?
Where?
How do I get to it?
If it's there & I can get to it, how do I make a system-wide change to
make it avail. to all users?

This PC is a laptop that I can now dual-boot; I rebooted to windows to
ask this question.

I did some more googling
I read this: http://wiki.tcl.tk/17341

Running as root since that's how I installed ActiveState's Tcl (in
/opt/ActiveTcl-8.6)

# teacup install --with-recommends Img
Resolving Img ... [package Img 1.4.3 tcl ... Already installed in
repository, probing dependencies]
Resolving Tcl 8.4 -is package ... [package Tcl 8.6.4 _ ... Installed
outside repository, probing dependencies]
Resolving Tk 8.4 -is package ... [package Tk 8.6.4 _ ... Installed
outside repository, probing dependencies]
Resolving img::bmp 1.4.3-2 -is package ... [package img::bmp 1.4.3
linux-glibc2.3-x86_64 ... Already installed in repository, probing
dependencies]
:
and a whole bunch more

If it's in my "repository", then why can't I "package require" it?

It sort of looks like the .so's have been installed in:
lib/teapot/package/linux-glibc2.3-x86_64/lib/

This seemed to work:
# teacup update --only newer

Then I did
# teacup install -force Img

Again, it seemed to work:
Installing into /opt/ActiveTcl-8.6/lib/teapot
Installing package Img 1.4.2 tcl
:

But I cannot find any Img package.

# wish
% package require Img
can't find package Img

I also see no teapot in auto_path or tcl_pkgPath
So even if it did install something to lib/teapot/... I don't see how
Tcl is going to find it.
Would I have to add explicit paths in every script I want to run that
uses one of the teapot packages?

I also need tablelist and tls.

I've reached an impasse. I thought ActiveState's linux distribution
would be as complete as windows'.

Are you sure, that the ActiveState "wish" is really the first one in
the PATH?

try:
type wish
and it should tell you, where it found it.

My guess would be that you got Ubuntu's wish (probably /usr/bin/wish)
instead of ActiveState's.

If there's nothing particular you need from the ActiveState tcl/tk version, you can just use ubuntu's tk package.

Install the ubuntu 'libtk-img' package.

I missed seeing this:

tablelist is included in the 'tklib' package.

'tls' is harder. You may need to build that package yourself if it not part of the ActiveState tcl/tk linux distribution.

[Dave]

I feel really dumb now.

That was it. It never occurred to me that Tcl was pre-installed.
I rm -fr'ed the /opt/Active* (since there was no install.log so the
uninstall script failed)
I then reinstalled ActiveTcl8.6.4.1.299124-linux-x86_64-threaded.tar.gz
My script now runs... until it hits a windoze thingy--which is why I
started down this path.

I wanted the "install" instructions for my script to be as simple as
possible. On windows, it's just "install Active State's Tcl". For linux
I was hoping it would be the same. However, since Tcl (might) be already
installed, I guess I'll have to see if just installing the Img package
for Ubuntu would be sufficient. As much as I dislike windows, in this
case it makes life easier for a potential user of my script.

Thank you to all who responded.

Yes. A version of "wish" is already installed on ubuntu. It was picking
up that version rather than the one installed in /opt/ActiveState.

Glad to know.

Was my 1st suspicion as well.
