Hi all,
as you probably know we have a perl/Tk based frontend to the new TeX
Live Manager (tlmgr).
In the perl script I am trying to load Tk.pm and catch the error, now I
want to echo something useful to stdout so that people know that they
have to install something in case of errors.
I have currently:
Cannot load Tk, thus the GUI cannot be started!
The Perl/Tk module is not shipped with the TeX Live installation.
You have to install it to get tlmgr GUI running.
One could add:
For Debian/Ubuntu: aptitude install perl-tk
For SuSE: ????????????
For Fedora: ????????????
For XXXX: ???????????
Any ideas? Should we forget about that or could you provide a more
extensive list?
Best wishes
Norbert
