Update - Trying this on a different Linux distro is going to be more difficult than I thought. I use derivatives of Red Hat on all my systems. That includes CentOS 6 and 7 as well as Fedora. I thought I would try installing Therion on one of my CentOS test systems. No such luck, at least not easily. There are no packages for either tkimg or metapost for CentOS. I am going to have to hunt around to find a tarball for them. Bill Gee On Friday, January 09, 2015 04:37:10 Wookey wrote:

Hi Stacho -
Both File-Open and Ctrl-O give the same error. I tried it on several different caves, too, and nothing changed. I also tried creating a new file. Same error.
I even tried it on a brand new cave by opening xtherion and then immediately going to the text edit window and trying to create a new file.
I tried it on both 32-bit and 64-bit Fedora 21. No change, same behavior on both.
When I did that last, there were some interesting messages in the bash window.

One possibility. The tk graphics extras are packaged separately in Debian, but need to be installed. Fedora maybe the same.
The package is libtk-img on debian.
Is that a clue?
