You are right that the unix/README file refers to an old Tcl/Tk
version. I have fixed this now in my sources.

The question whether you have to be root or not really depends on your
access control policy on your system. I do not need to be root, but
other might need to be root for step (d). The text text says under
(d): "You'll need write permission on the installation directories to
do this." There is nothing more I can do about this.

The example script given under (f) should be inserted into init.tcl -
it does not contain any code usually found in init.tcl, so I don't
understand the comment.

The toplevel README file says that it works with Tcl8.0p2/Tk8.0p2.
The unix/README file did not repeat this - I have changed the text.

The Tcl interpreter seems to have problems to locate the library
files, which means that there is still something wrong with your
installation. Did you set any environment variables? Did you modify
Tcl's init.tcl file? Are you using Tcl8.0? Are the permissions on the
installed files so that you can read everything? ...? It's difficult
to tell what is wrong on your system without knowing all the little
details.

John> A non-Tk example such as snmpwalk works fine.

At least something. ;-)
