Hi all,
I've been using tcl 8.4.19 for ages, but just got
moved to 8.5.11 at work, and now a lot of my scripts fail.
For instance, I use:
"package require aes"
but this gets thrown out by 8.5
I need an idiots guide to upgrading, anyone help please?

Are your packages installed where both a Tcl 8.4 and a Tcl 8.5

installation can find them?
As general advice, reporting verbatim error messages is often
very helpful in getting more useful help.

Have you built/installed from source, or are you using binary

distributions from some provider? What provider?

Also, the 'normal' place tcllib gets installed (at least under CentOS 5 / RHEL
5) is /usr/share/tcl8.4. Upgrading to tcl 8.5.<mumble> probably got rid of
/usr/share/tcl8.4/tcllib-<mumble>. Which means tcllib needs to be
reinstalled (under /usr/share/tcl8.5/ maybe).

There are no big syntax differences between 8.4 and 8.5 in the sense
that code will stop working that worked before. Can it be that you are
simply missing the modules you used to have? For instance, ActiveTcl
shipped 8.4 with a complete set of modules, whereas 8.5 comes with a
smaller installation. You can fetch a lot of stuff via teacup, see
http://wiki.tcl.tk/17305
For instance, try
teacup install ActiveState::ActiveTcl

Is it "can't find package aes"?
