Description Andreas Gruenbacher 2005-08-09 14:47:28 UTC 
Reinhard,   
the graphviz-tcl package includes a file /usr/share/tcl/graphviz/pkgIndex.tcl   
that is somehow supposed to make lines like "package require Tkspline" work.  
Could you please explain to me how that works, and what's broken in the  
package currently? Thanks!

We resolved it in a personal talk.

Short summary: the shared objects that are loadable by Tcl/Tk have to be located
under %_libdir rather than a package-speciffic subdir of it, and pkgIndex.tcl
has to be changed to load them by unqualified name rather than relative to the
directory where the script itself is located.
