Problems installing TclPro1.4 on Linux

[Michael Eichler]

I've downloaded tclpro from
ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tclpro/download/tclpro141.linux.tar.gz .

Running the setup.sh script ended with the following Error:

Installer error:
couldn't execute "/home/user/dld/tclpro1.4/unix/uzpln86": no such file
or directory
while executing
"exec $unzip -Zt [FindFile $src $file"
(procedure "install::calculateSizeAndCount" line 10)
invoked from within
"install::calculateSizeAndCount $::installImageRoot"
(procedure "gui::showWindow" line 24)
invoked from within
"gui::showWindow"

The uzpln86 binary is present and I guess it is an error inside this
program.

I was able to unzip all the stuff inside the unix dir with normal unzip
program. But I can not run the setup.tcl program because several files
are missed:

source projectInfo/projectInfo.tcl
source install.tcl
source messages.tcl
source unwrapsizes.tcl
source license/licio.tcl
source license/lserverInstall.tcl

Any idea whats going wrong here? My system is a Suse7.0 intel box.

Thank you

Michael

This is a known problem, it's due to the uzpln86 using
an old libc or glibc, which you don't have.

You should have a program called "unzip" on your linux
install, here is what you do:

cd /home/user/dld/tclpro1.4/unix/
mv uzpln86 uzpln86.orig
ln -s <path-to-unzip>/unzip ./uzpln86

Now try it again.
