Just in case:

Darwin artemis.local 8.10.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.10.1: Wed May 23 16:33:00 PDT 2007; root:xnu-792.22.5~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

[thomchiovoloni@…]

I have the same problem. tk won't build.

I might try building from source.

[nox@…]

Added maintainer to Cc.

[bfulgham@…]

Tk builds find under Leopard, but only in X11 mode. If I build with the "+aqua" variant, I encounter this build error.

Are the rest of you using the Aqua variant?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Assigning to tk maintainer. The aqua variant was removed in r32235, BTW.

[(none)]

Milestone Port Bugs deleted

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Although it's true the aqua variant was removed in r32235, it was resurrected as the quartz variant in r39335, but tk @8.5.8_0 installs fine for me on Tiger i386 with or without the quartz variant. So I think we can assume this is no longer a problem.
