Thanks for the promising news. Where should I look for the announcement that there is something new? Is this the correct place? http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/Tcl/ But will be the 8.5. branch updated, too? I need 8.5 because CPython on Mac does not yet use 8.6... I cannot see there 8.5.15.1 (at least that is how ActiveTcl is numbered) which solved some oter Mavericks issues in October 2013 (all 8.5. files are older than October 2013)... So will be there a 8.5.16? > you can download the source tarballs for Tcl and Tk when they are > released, untar them to a specific directory, cd to the directory, and run > these commands: > > make -C $insert_tcl_dirname_here/macosx > make -C $insert_tk_dirname_here/macosx > > and then > > sudo make -C $insert_tcl_dirname_here/macosx install > sudo make -C $insert_tk_dirname_here/macosx install I have some command line skills and I have the command line developer tools installed (is that enough?), but I am not sure if I understand which directory's name is $insert_tcl_dirname_here (I suppose that the $ sign belongs to the name of the "variable", am I right?). Is it the directory where I unterd tcl (and which is under the directory where i cd-ed to)? > This will install the updated version of Tcl and Tk in > /Library/Frameworks, and Python should pick them up. Well, should... I will try. But when I followed a similar procedure of installing the tkpng package then after "sudo make install" it seemed to be ok, but it was apparently added to other version of Tk than CPython is using... Can somebody else confirm or disconfirm that the above procedure will install the new Tcl/Tk to that place where CPython (that is already installed) will pick it from? Or do I need to reinstall CPython after this? Or...? Thanks Peter Tomcsanyi
