Yup, sorry to use this list to ask for help on getting Tcl/Tk installed:
it's just that I got more good advice from here than the ng or scriptics!
However the Scotty/Tkined installation documentation doesn't seem to match
with Tcl/Tk 8.0 - README refers to Tcl7.5 and Tk4.1; section (d) doesn't
specify whether one should be root or not (or the implications for
where you can install to if not) when doing 'make install'; section (f)2
refers to editing init.tcl but the version in 8.0 seems quite different
from the example shown.
Should Scotty work with Tck/Tk 8.0? I thought you (Juergen) said it did,
but I can't remember where I read it now ...
Also I got the errors I mentioned yesterday (appended) in trying to use
Tkined and some of the examples. Are these a problem with Tcl/Tk or
something wrongly set up with Scotty/Tkined?

I hope so! -- it's a pity to restrict Tcl/Tk and its apps to wizard
sysadmins (or those with tame friendly wizard sysadmins to set things up
for them).

I got tkined to come up, but then I get an error message (on the xterm from which I launched tkined):
scinfo@sunm2> tkined1.4.9 invalid command name "LoadDefaults" while executing "LoadDefaults remote manager" (file "/usr/local/lib/tkined1.4.9/apps/manager.tcl" line 17)
and I can't find a Tools menu which I seem to recall on a previous version I had running on an old machine.
The Tnm example 'mibtree' runs (displays a window on my X display, as did Tkined), but when I try to add an agent I get (on the xterm from which I started the example):
scinfo@sunm2> /usr/local/lib/tnm2.1.9/examples/mibtree bgerror failed to handle background error. Original error: invalid command name "Dialog_Request" Error in bgerror: invalid command name "Dialog_Confirm"
A non-Tk example such as snmpwalk works fine.
