BLT through Pmw

[Reggie Dugard]

Volker,

I've just been catching up with my e-mail and I didn't see any response
to your question, so I thought I'd put in my 2 cents.  I'm not sure if
this is the "correct" way, but this is how I got it to work.

I installed BLT under the tcl directory found in the standard python
distribution.  I then moved tcl\lib\tcl8.3\blt2.4 up to
tcl\tcl8.3\blt2.4 so that the pkgIndex.tcl file could be found by TCL.
I also made sure that the tcl\bin directory is in the path so that the
DLL's could be found.

I played with this a while before I got it to work and this method is a
kludge, so if you find a cleaner way to do the install, I'd appreciate
it if you'd pass it on.

I hope this helps; good luck!

Subject: BLT throug Pmw


Hello,

I  would like to use BLT 2.4u throug Pmw 0.8.5 from Python 2.1
on an Windwos box but Pmw cannot find the BLT package.
I installed the BLT package from the self extracting Windows
installer found on the BLT home page in various locations but none
worked.  As I am unfamiliar with the tcl/tk-directory organisation
I do not know wether all files are in the right place.
Does anyone have any experince with this setup?
Where should the BLT libraries be (relativily to the Python21 or Tcl
diretory)?
The demos included in the BLT distribution do not work either, they
suffer from the same problem: "Can't find BLT package"

Thanks a lot in advance for any idea.
