An other possibility is to install the
X11 package
first. Then install
ActivePerl 5.8, which will also install Tk.
The scripts were written on Linux, so for Mac you should probably edit the main file
and replace the first line
#!/usr/bin/perl
with
#!/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/bin/perl
or whatever your perl binary location is.
This program only works in full screen mode in X11. To switch between full and docked versions of X11, the user
will have to use the key combo: alt-apple-A.
Special thanks to Alex Bayly for these instructions.
ActivePerl exists for Linux, but since Perl is probably already on your machine,
just load the Tk module: become root and type
cpan -i 'Tk'
If you have test failures, try
echo 'force install Tk' | perl -MCPAN -e shell
Make sure that the first line of the script points to the
correct location of the Perl binary: type
which perl
at the command line to know this location.
I experienced Tk crashes with Fedora Core when the language environment variable was set to something else than en_US.ISO_8859-1, so try that if necessary.
