Hello all,
I just installed Fedora Linux on my PC. Now I want to install TCL-Pro.
I downloaded TCL-Pro 1.4 for Linux (tarfile), I can see all the files.
I extracted the files.
There are two files that lool like install files.
- setup.sh (shell script)
- a bit deeper in the dir struct=ure there is a setup.tcl (I do not
have TCL installed yet)

[fedora@localhost tclpro1.4]$ ls
INSTALL license.txt README setup.sh unix
[fedora@localhost tclpro1.4]$ ./setup.sh
Installer error:
couldn't execute "/home/fedora/Download/TclPro/tclpro1.4/unix/
uzpln86": no such file or directory
while executing
"exec $unzip -Zt [FindFile $src $file"
(procedure "install::calculateSizeAndCount" line 10)
invoked from within
"install::calculateSizeAndCount $::installImageRoot"
(procedure "gui::showWindow" line 24)
invoked from within
"gui::showWindow"

Warning: TclPro installation aborted by the user.

[fedora@localhost tclpro1.4]$ ls /home/fedora/Download/TclPro/
tclpro1.4/unix/uzpln86
/home/fedora/Download/TclPro/tclpro1.4/unix/uzpln86
[fedora@localhost tclpro1.4]$ ls -la /home/fedora/Download/TclPro/
tclpro1.4/unix/uzpln86
-rwxr-xr-x 1 fedora fedora 88504 1998-09-27 15:42 /home/fedora/
Download/TclPro/tclpro1.4/unix/uzpln86
[fedora@localhost tclpro1.4]$

I do not know why I get this error because the file is there (see
above). Please if anyone knows how to install TCL-Pro on Linux from
the tarfile, please let me know.

That's some old stuff.. dates back to 1999.

The installer's unzip86 requires an old libc to be installed (it was linked
dynamic instead of static, whoops). I do not remember which one. Betteryet,
delete unzip86 and place a link under the same name to your installed /usr/bin/unzip
