Hello,
It looks like the script "can't find package doctools".
under [TCL-installed dir]/lib dir there should be a dir for the
package doctools.
In the dir there should be a pkgIndex.tcl file.
When the script does "package require doctools" it uses the info
provided in
this pkgIndex.tcl file.
You might try something like this just to get going:
In the pkgIndex.tcl file, there should be a line like this (this is
for widgets, yours should be for doctools):
package ifneeded Iwidgets 3.0.1 [list source [file join $dir
iwidgets.tcl]]
You will get an error like the one you got when the script tries to
use the doctools package if this line from the pkgIndex.tcl has not
been read OR if the $dir in the file is unknown or incorrect.
In your script, you might add a line defining the dir where the
doctools.tcl or .dll file is, then the "package ifneeded" line. It's
just a quick fix but should tell you what the problem is and a quick
workaroung to get going.
For instance:
set dir "C:/blaa/blaa/blaa"
;# this is where the "iwidgets.tcl" file is for me or the doctools.tcl
file is for you.
package ifneeded Iwidgets 3.0.1 [list source [file join $dir
iwidgets.tcl]]
;# This tells the interp what file to load when "package require
command is issued.

Doctools is a package from tcllib. Do you have tcllib installed?
