[therion] Compilation Problems...

[Martin Sluka]

Hi Thierry,

I use Therion on MacOSX long time. There are same strange things, but it normaly works OK.

Known problems:

version of Tcl - I have try the AlphaTk editor and this one uses the higher version of Tcl. So I had to uninstall AlphaTk, repair permissions, reinstall the Aqua Tcl/Tk including batteries and recompile Therion.

Sometimes the Tcl lost the connection to itself and frozes. But after killing of Tcl (Ctrl+C in terminal) it is able to work again.

My directory for Therion is inside of my home directory in forder Caves. There are folders for other caves too.

If I run xtherion:

- I open the terminal
- change the directory to that with my data
- write xtherion and press return

It normaly works.
