Unfortunately, it seems that this breaks Tcl badly enough that it's not capable of returning a useful error message :-( --- the fact that our code doesn't make any attempt to print the interpreter result is probably Not Good, but when I changed it to do so, I still didn't get anything but an empty string ... So the short answer is "install Tcl per its directions". regards, tom lane
