BLT doesn't work properly

[mn@…]

I installed BLT library via macports: port install blt, and when I am trying to run it on included samples, it doesn't work, and tells me that there are some version conflicts. The only other version I have is originally suplied Leopard TCL - version 8.4, so the conflict is according to me somewhere in macports installation.

there is a log when I tried to run a sample, it always ends up like this:

mn@hrusticka /opt/local/lib/blt2.4/demos $ bltwish barchart1.tcl 
Application initialization failed: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.2, need exactly 8.5

Assigning to maintainer.

BLT source needs some work to get it working with Tcl/Tk 8.5. I hope this is done soon.

Does this work now that the fix for #22536 has been checked in?

[macsforever2000@…]

This still does not work for me:

$ bltwish barchart1.tcl 
Error in startup script: unknown namespace in import pattern "blt::tile::*"
    while executing
"namespace import -force blt::tile::*"
    invoked from within
"if { $tcl_version >= 8.0 } {
    namespace import blt::*
    namespace import -force blt::tile::*
}"
