Re: tcl and xcin input problem
Hi,
the program that works great with chinese and diacritics is TreeLine
(http://www.bellz.org/treeline/). Basically I was loking for something
taht would display data in a tree as Leo does and that would allow me to
make a lot of notes around, define relations etc. The TreeLine is not
that great (Leo really is!, you know it if you have used it). Strange
thing is that I was able to input directly into Leo under Windows. So it
should work under Linux too.
Strange thing is that I can run Leo only from xcinterm-big5. When I
press shift-alt xcin comes up, but when I type it input normal keys from
my keyboard and ignores xcin completely.
If I try to run it from xcinterm-gb2312 it gives me this error:
Traback (most recent call last):
File "./leo.py", line 195, in ?
run()
File "./leo.py", line 130, in run
root = Tkinter.Tk()
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1538, in __init__
self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className)
_tkinter.TclError: Cant't find a usable init.tcl in the following
directories:
/usr/lib/tcl8.4 /
then begins some mess with chinese characters and spaces and then it says:
This probably means that Tcl isn't installed properly.
Well, I understand it only to the extent that I can say that I should
reinstall Tcl. I did it,both dpkg-reconfigure and that from source.
Nothing. Well I would guess that gb is maybe more sensitive (?) and
that the error shows up in big5 only in the way, that I can't type.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Petr
