#22262: Unable to open port: invalid command name "ui_channels" -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: gkg@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Comment(by jmr@…): As I mentioned in the duplicate ticket #24588, the existence of ui_channels is explicitly checked before calling it. So this looks like a Tcl bug, and since most people don't have this problem, I would suspect modifications to Apple's stock Tcl installation. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22262#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
