The value is appended at the +head of Tcl's 'auto_path' variable. You can see the value of the +variable by using 'Tk::AUTO_PATH.value' or 'Tk::AUTO_PATH.list'. + +For example, on Linux, one of the ways is to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH +environment variable. +------------------------------------------------------------------------- + [bash]$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ActiveTcl/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \ + ruby your-Ruby/Tk-script + + [bash]$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ActiveTcl/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH irb +------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Based on it, the Tcl interpreter changes auto_path variable's value. + +Then, you'll be able to use Tcl/Tk extension libraries included in the +ActiveTcl package (e.g. call TkPackage.require('BWidget'), and then, +use functions/widgets of BWidget extension). + + Hidetoshi NAGAI (nagai@ai.kyutech.ac.jp) |
