Hi Carmen,
maybe you'me missed my message on LAU list. I was asking for help to 
install your ix widgets. They seem a lot of fun from the screenshots.

I'm almost there. I've compiled and installed all the required tk 
packages, but I suspect BLT isn't working (I have used a precompiled 
binary found somewhere since the official source didn't compile with tk 
8.5a, which I use).

Some widgets load, but mat.wig and lg.wig don't. I get these errors for 
mat.wid:

mat .x8254708.c.n1826a648 n1826a648
tcl error: in ::toxy::longvishook: invalid command name "::ix::mat_new"
miXed consistency check failed: widgettype_doload

lg.wid gives this:
tcl error: invalid command name "blt::graph"

which is obviously related to BLT.

I would also like to know how to start the custom pd gui. I've tried with:

wish pd_base.tk

but it complains about the missing 'pre8.5.tcl' source file.

I plan to learn to make my own widgets, but I've just started playing 
with tcl /tk and the widget external.

Anyway as far as I've understood you use osc to talk between your 
widgets and pd. Is it right?

I'm asking this because I'm making similar widgets within the  squeak 
smalltalk environment (www.squeak.org) using OSC as protocol. So, if 
this is the case, it would be more pratical for me to keep working with 
these tools I know a bit more.

Thank you.
