I thought I would bring up the Wiki entry regarding installation on Tiger 10.4 at (http://cars9.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/ifeffit/faqwiz? req=all#2.12). If there is a problem, I would like to modify the text. In short, I have (re)installed horae on two 10.4 systems upgraded from 10.3 as well as on a brand spanking new dual G5. It works without error on each. For the G5, I installed the new version of Tk (as explained in the Wiki entry) and then just ran the binary installer (as I recall). I don't recall having any problems with the installation and it works fine on all three machines. Please excuse me for mentioning the obvious, but if this a new machine with the OS pre-installed, it is necessary to install X11 which is an optionally install on the included installation DVD's. Once this is installed, download Tk (tcl is included and does not require reinstallation) and install it, and then the binary installer for ifeffit. I don't recall if the binary installer has the latest version of horae and ifeffit, but once the base installation is in place, you can upgrade any time from terminal by typing "sudo horae_update".

While I had no problem following Matt's instructions to get Ifeffit working on my desktop after upgrading to 10.4, I'm still stuggling to install ifeffit on the new laptop. I've tried different combinations of the binary installer and manual compilations of Tcl/TK and horae, but I run into this error:
A caveat: I do not own a Mac and have not tried to install the codes on 10.4.
That said, I wanted to point out that Tcl/Tk has *nothing* to do with installing my codes on a computer. My codes use Tcl/Tk in no way whatsoever.
Perl/Tk, on the other hand, is essential to the story. See http://search.cpan.org/~ni-s/Tk-804.027/
The Perl bindings to the Tk toolkit come with its own, modified version of Tk. You must install Perl/Tk to get my codes to work. Installing Tcl/Tk just ain't part of the deal.
