[Ifeffit] problems using Athena and Artemis with perl/Tk 804.025 on linux and other unixes

[Bruce Ravel]

Hi folks,

The problem I am reporting in this email mostly effects users of linux
and other unix systems.  This does not effect Windows users of Athena
and Artemis.

There seem to be some severe problem in how Athena and Artemis
interact with the latest version of perl/Tk.  At least a couple of
people have done the very sensible thing of installing the latest
version of perl/Tk and then installing my software.  Unfortunately, if
you do so, you will run into lots of problems.  As soon as possible, I
will release new versions of Athena and Artemis that will play well
with the latest version of perl/Tk.

Until then, the best advice I can give is to "downgrade" your version
of perl/Tk.  Here is a copy of a version that I believe will allow you
to use Athena and Artemis fully:

If this conflicts with other programs or projects for any individual
user, I apologize and, as I said, will fix the problems with Athena
and Artemis ASAP.


So, to summarize, Athena and Artemis currently do not work with the
most recent version of perl/Tk.  This is my fault not the fault of
perl/Tk.  The solution is either to wait for me to fix the problems or
to install an older version of perl/Tk.

Regards,
Bruce
