Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I installed Xcircuit following the page ​https://ports.macports.org/port/xcircuit/. The installation ran successfully, But when I run xcircuit in terminal, I get the below error - Can you help me figure out what I am running wrong?

I tried installing tcl using MacPorts, but that says its already installed
