Which wish to use on GNU/Linux is set at the top of pd-gui.tcl. The
problem is one of deployment. "wish" is guaranteed to be there if Tcl/
Tk is installed. "wish8.5" is not. I would recommend the Debian,
etc. package patching pd-gui.tcl to set that wish to the best option,
and then set the correct dependency.
Or you can use update-alternatives :)

Hi,
sorry for a quick self-reply: I "hacked" it by setthing the default
wish to wish8.4 with "update-alternatives --config wish"I still wonder, why 0.42 would automatically select 8.5 instead of
8.4. It could be nice for other users if 0.43 would try the latest and greatest as well.Ciao

Hi,
and another one: I have both tk8.4 (the default on Squeeze) and tk8.5 installed, -deve packages come from 8.5 only:
robbi:~# dlocate -l tk8 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half- installed ||/ Name Version Description
+++-================-================-
ii tk8.4 8.4.19-4 Tk toolkit for Tcl and X11,
v8.4 - ii tk8.5 8.5.8-1 Tk toolkit for Tcl and X11,
v8.5 - ii tk8.5-dev 8.5.8-1 Tk toolkit for Tcl and X11,
v8.5 -configure seems to find 8.5 just fine: # config.log: ac_cv_lib_tcl85_main=no ac_cv_lib_tcl8_5_main=yes ac_cv_lib_tk85_main=no ac_cv_lib_tk8_5_main=yes ... LIBS='-ltk8.5 -ltcl8.5 -lrt -ljack -ljack'
However running pd from the "bin" directory, the applications shows
me its ugly, non-aliased 8.4 face.If I remove the tk8.4 package with aptitude, Pd starts with its
nice and shiny 8.5-face, but that's not an option in the long run, as other
packages need 8.4.Pd 0.42 would happily use 8.5 even with 8.4 installed. Can I hack
0.43 somehow to get the nice GUI I've grown to like a bit by now?(I tried something like "package require Tk 8.5" in pd-gui.tcl
already, but that won't start at all.)Ciao
