- Q. Why is FileRunner complaining about dynamic linking not being
- available on my system?
-
- A. FileRunner uses the "load" command in tclsh to dynamically link in
- the part of FileRunner that is written in C. This makes it unnecessary
- to rebuild a whole new wish shell just to have a few extra
- commands. (So it saves a lot of RAM and time). On some older Linux
- platforms, the dynamic linking stuff is too old for this to work
- correctly. It seems that you need to update /lib/ld.so and probably
- also the /lib/libdl.so library. Note that the safest way of doing this
- is to grab a whole new set of libraries from sunsite.unc.edu (under
- the Linux/GCC directory) and install that. It looks like the Slackware
- 96 distribution has this problem and needs to be updated. When you've
- got the new /lib/ld.so file and the rest of that stuff you need to
- rebuild your Tcl/Tk stuff. (Or get a prebuilt binary, see next
- question). When you rebuild it, the config script will tell you
- whether or not dynamic linking will be available. If anyone has any
- more info on this or might want to correct me, please send me an
- email.

- Q. Can I use beta versions of Tcl/Tk with FileRunner?
-
- A. No. (Well you can, but it is a source of bugs I don't want to
- handle).
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q. I get this error when I start up. Why?
-
- error while autoloading "load": bad option "join": should be atime,
- dirname, executable, exists, extention, isdirectory, isfile , lstat,
- mtime, owned, readable, readlink, root, size, stat, tail, type, or
- writable
-
- A. You have an old tcl/tk installation. Please get a new.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q. I get this error when I start up FR on Linux. Why?
-
- wish4.1: can't resolve symbol 'getgrgid'
- wish4.1: can't resolve symbol 'statfs'
-
- A. I'm guessing you need to rebuild your tcl/tk installation. Are you
- running a really new libc?
