[PD] Errors building PD from source

[Ian Andrews]

Thanks  hc. No luck.

Crash report says:

Path: /Applications/Utilities/Wish Shell.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish Shell
Version: 8.5.7 (8.5.7)
Code Type: X86 (Native)
Parent Process: pd [369]

The file in the path is a link to /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/ 
Resources/Wish.app

testing wish:

ian$ wish
% info patchlevel
8.4.7

ian$ /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Resources/Wish*Shell.app/ 
Contents/MacOS/Wish*
% info patchlevel
8.4.7

ian$ /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Resources/Wish.app/Contents/ 
MacOS/wish
% info patchlevel
8.5.7


Seems like I have two versions of Tcl/Tk installed. But the newer one  
is that one that crashes.

best
