[Therion] Running Xtherion on Mac OS X Catalina

[Philippe Vernant]

Hi David,

Did you try to reinstall Therion after updating to Catalina ? I don’t have Catalina, I’m sticking to High Sierra where everything is running fine so far.
How do you usually install Therion on a Mac ?

Best,
Phil

I have successfully built and installed Therion 5.4.4, and Therion and Loch both run fine. Before the upgrade, everything worked OK, but it looks like some things have moved around in this version of OS X, amongst other things breaking. When I try to run Xtherion, Tcl/Tk can't seem to locate BWidget, and the GUI can't run:

There's a pause, and Wish seems to start up, and yet XQuartz actually opens; I have tcl 8.6 installed and can run the tclsh OK.
