[tldistro] Perl/Tk and TeXLive 2011

[Norbert Preining]

Hi Miroslav,

this has nothing to do with *distribution* support. This list is
targetted ad *packagers* of TeX Live for distributions, not for user
support. You should contact Ubuntu for that.

But ...

YOu probably are running the script from an ssh session without X forwarding?
Or you don't have X running? Or you have something else set up.

THe point is that you have an X error here where we *cannot* help.

Can you run this minimal script:
	use Tk;
	my $mw = Tk::MainWindow->new;
	Tk::MainLoop();
in your perl environment? It should show an empty window?

Best wishes

Norbert
