MessageHi Marvin,

I'm not pretty sure what goes wrong here. I see a number of potential
problem .. perhaps the libxotcl is not on
your PATH. the library is named libxotcl1.1.dll, not libxotcl.dll ...
 Have you tried whether the installation works the way it is
described in the README file (using the installWin.tcl script and then do a
"package require XOTcl"??)

  Betreff: [Xotcl] install problems


  hi-
  i did a zip binary distribution for windows
  xotcl-1.1.0-win32-tcl8.4.5.zip

  my tcl directory was in c:\tcl . when the install took place it tried to
put xotcl in c:\program files\tcl directory.
  since that is not where i originally installed tcl i copied the files with
the file manager back over to c:\tcl and its subdirectories.
  i have an environment variable named tcllibpath that points to
c:\tcl\lib\xotcl. i moved the 4 include files over to c:\tcl\include .
  the libxotcl1.1.dll resides now in my c:\tcl\lib directory.

  when i run this code in ASED it prints out "failure" as it is not loaded
properly. I am using version 8.4.

  set fail [catch [load libxotcl.dll]]
  if {$fail} {
  puts "failure"

  }

  i wanted to expirement with xotcl. i have swig working and know a little
c++ but i thought i'd try out this new way of doing things.

  please let me know if you can think of any tricks i am not thinking of to
get this to load properly.
  i could reinstall TCL to c:\program files\tcl and then reinstall xotcl
from the beginning zip file. Is that necessary?

  thanks
  marvin
