Yet another problem quickly analysed, Andreas :/
Thanks much !

Should I report the problem to tcl's bug tracker ?


As far as I understand your mail, Andreas, there is no work arround the
problem until the safe-base mechanism is corrected ?

However, since the command package is available in safe interpreters, and
since I bet that the new TM mechanism is handled in the package command,
perhaps I could get some hack ?

I've tried to do expose the master's load and source commands, and also to
set the safe interpreter's auto_path be identiqual to the master's.
Unfortunately, the safe still cannot find the package:

   % interp create -safe
   interp0
   % interp expose interp0 load
   % interp expose interp0 source
   % interp eval interp0 "set auto_path \"$auto_path\""
   /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/Scripts
/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources /usr/local/lib
~/Library/Tcl /Library/Tcl /Network/Library/Tcl /System/Library/Tcl
~/Library/Frameworks /Library/Frameworks /Network/Library/Frameworks
/System/Library/Frameworks /Library/Tcl/teapot/package/macosx-ix86/lib
/Library/Tcl/teapot/package/macosx-universal/lib
/Library/Tcl/teapot/package/tcl/lib
   % interp eval interp0 "package require math::linearalgebra"
   can't find package math::linearalgebra

Mmmhhh.. now I am lost again...
Given the above piece of code, what is different when executing package
require in the safe interpreter on the one hand, in the master on the
other ?

Perhaps someone would have a suggestion to let my safe interp require the
tcllib packages ?

Best-
Nicolas


PS : just to let pple know...
I just noticed that the problem happens also on the mac.
There, I can load a math::bignum package in a safe interp, but it's the
old 8.4 package. The newer version that comes with activetcl8.5 is not
available in the safe interp, just as on Linux.
Quite logical, since it relates to the new tcl module TM system.
