In this case, what used to be called "portname" is now called "name". You could edit this in the old portfiles, but you may run into other similar problems.<br class=""><br class="">A lot has changed in OS X too; it would be truly surprising if software 11-12 years old can build on a current version of OS X. I don't recommend continuing your attempt to install such old version of tcl and tk.<br class=""><br class="">Are you sure tclx 8.4.1 needs tcl 8.4.1 and tk 8.4.1? tclx 8.4.1 installed fine for me just now with tcl 8.6.3 and tk 8.6.3 installed.<br class=""><br class=""></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
