otcl @1.9: configure: error: Installation of tk seems incomplete or can't be found automatically

[raiyan.kabir@…]

Dear all, I found no helping site for this problem with otcl installation on Mac OS X 10.5.2. I'm using Macport. When ever I try to install otcl I found that the configure script failed to find the the tk installation. But is I try to install tk again Macport says that its already installed.

Actually I'll trying to install ns-2. To do that otcl is must. I need to install ns-2. a few days ago I installed ns-2 on Ubuntu 7.10. That was not also smooth. And the culprit was otcl. I had to download several patches and apply them on otcl to make the package work. port is giving me the following error massages.

Xcore:~ raiyan$

Is their any body in the forum who can help me to figure out what to do? I'm running 10.5.2 on MacBook 2.0GHz and 1GB ram.

Please let me know what to do?

ns-2, tclcl and otcl are very old and busted in MacPorts and may not work at all; see #13535.

Cc reporter of dup #16461.

[pyrios@…]

Trying to get the current version of otcl (1.13) configured and eventually compiled. It is currently failing because it is looking for tclInt.h. I am only using tcl-8.5 because that is what port installed. The otcl web page for ns-2 recommends tcl8.4-14. It doesn't look like the tcl port installs the header which is used by otcl. The existing otcl port downloads the source for tcl-8.4.

Replying to pyrios@…:

If that is a private Tcl header, then that's probably covered by ticket #17189.

Dear all,

i have updated (and simplified) the portfiles and patches to work with tcl 8.5 and fixed the bugs mentioned above.

The uploaded files contain the diffs for the portfile of otcl and tclcl and tar files of porth ports (to avoid confusions about deleted patch files).

I cloned the Macports macports-ports tree, applied the necessary patches to lang/otcl/Portfile, and tried to build (and hopefully install) the otcl port. I'm getting this stupid error, which I totally don't understand:

$ pwd
/Users/ur20980/src/macports-ports/lang/otcl
$ sudo port install
Error: Unable to execute port: Could not open file: /Users/ur20980/src/macports-ports/lang/otcl/Portfile
$ sudo port -v install
Error: Unable to execute port: Could not open file: /Users/ur20980/src/macports-ports/lang/otcl/Portfile
$ ll -@ /Users/ur20980/src/macports-ports/lang/otcl/Portfile
-rw-r--r--  1 ur20980  staff  1743 Jul 24 23:15 /Users/ur20980/src/macports-ports/lang/otcl/Portfile
$ 

What am I doing wrong, or what stymies port executable???
