I can't get PD 0.48.1 to run on a fresh installation of 18.04 LTS. It compiled fine, but when I try to run PD I get:
sh: 1: wish: not found
I've tried "sudo apt-get install tcl" but this didn't help.
It looks like others are having problems with Tcl applications as well: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1031632/tcl-tk-programs-fails-after-upgrade-...
Any ideas?

wish is part of the tk package (which depends on tk8.6 on Ubuntu 18.04). So do:
sudo apt install tk
and then try again.

did you install the puredata package (from Ubuntu) or self-compiled?
because the "puredata" package depends on the "puredata-gui" package which in turn depends on the "tk" package which should provide the "wish" interpreter.

This is self-compiled, and Roman's suggestion did the trick. Strange that Ubuntu 18.04 doesn't come with this installed.
Since we're here, can I ask what is the difference between Tcl and Tk? Up until today, I had assumed that they were the same package. ________________________________ From: Pd-list pd-list-bounces@lists.iem.at on behalf of IOhannes m zm?lnig zmoelnig@iem.at Sent: 04 May 2018 09:52 To: pd-list@lists.iem.at Subject: Re: [PD] PD won't run on Ubuntu 18.04

while you certainly have your own reasons to self-compile Pd, I just wanted to point out that Bionic Beaver already comes with Pure Data 0.48-1.

if you are talking about Tk: not very strange, i think.
(i find it more strange that your Ubuntu doesn't come with puredata installed by default; how could *anybody* live without Pd?)

Tcl is a general purpose scripting language. Tk is a toolkit (clever abbreviation) to build GUIs.
Tk is mostly used by Tcl, but there are bindings to other languages as well (Perl/Tk, Tkinter (python),...)

OMG, this is the best news I've heard all week.

I just meant it's strange because I don't remember having to install it on previous versions of Ubuntu. But I'll take an up-to-date repository over this any day.
