TclCurl on 5.3?

[Mark Thompson]

Cloverleaf 5.4.1 includes a great communication package called TclCurl.  Unfortunately we are running CL 5.3 (on AIX 5.2) so I’m trying to retrofit TclCurl to 5.3.  Copied the libTclCurl0.15.1.so file and TclCurl0.15.1 directory from 5.4.1 to 5.3 ($HCIROOT/tcl/lib), but no luck — probably because 5.4.1 uses Tcl 8.4 and 5.3 doesn’t.  Anyone have suggestions for getting TclCurl running on 5.3?

The error message is:

hcitcl>package require TclCurl

Error: couldn’t load file “/hci/qdx5.3/integrator/tcl/lib/TclCurl0.15.1/../libTclCurl0.15.1.so”: No such file or directory

Any suggestions appreciated.

We installed tclCurl onto our 5.3 engine with some help from Quovadx. There were a couple of files that had to be copied out elsewhere to make it work…

If you can find the extra files, try copying them as directed.

$ cd TclCurl0.15.1

$ ls

README               libTclCurl0.15.1.so  pkgIndex.tcl

curl                 libcurl.a            tclcurl.tcl

curl-config          libcurl.la

$ less README

This version of TclCurl has been compiled on AIX 5.0 (riscy)

The tar file should be extracted in $HCIROOT/tcl/lib

the 2 libcurl files sould be copied to /usr/local/lib as root and be executable

the 2 files curl and curl-config should be copied to /usr/bin and be executable

Good luck….pete
