wish is missing

sudo aptitude install apt-cache
sudo apt-cache update
apt-cache find wish

its in the tk package.

oh, its also called "wish-default", so either
1) modify the script that is calling wish

or

2) create a symlink in your /usr/local/bin folder called "wish" with

sudo ln -s `which wish-default` /usr/local/bin/wish

This is what happened.

the same way you install every package -- from either synaptic, the command line or through the software manager (aka software centre). Its all the same.

If you want to go the command line route, you can use apt-get (sorry about before -- I keep forgetting that some ubuntu's don't have aptitude installed by default).

sudo apt-get install tk

sudo aptitude install tk

Nope that didn't work either.

Seems like a package manager (for example automatic installation of updates) is currently running. If not try a

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock; sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade;sudo apt-get install tk

Okay the problem was the Java Runtime installer was incomplete. I now have
the Configuring sun-java6-bin window open and I closed it prematurely last
time I suppose I have to wait for it to finish.

Close but not quite. It must be the Java Runtime Installation causing all
this trouble.

The script is not loking for "wish" in your PATH environment variable , as it should. It's looking for a specific location -- goodness knows why; that's just asking for breakage.

try

sudo ln -s `which wish-default` /usr/local/bin/wish

(PS, can you erase old replies in your messages -- this thread is getting very long).

I gave it the entire path. It still cannot find it.

Please run the following eight commands. You should paste in and run each command separately. Then please post the text from the Terminal (starting with the line where you pasted in the first command) here.

history | grep wish-default | tail
which -a wish wish-default
ls -ld /usr/local/bin /usr/bin
ls -l /usr/local/bin/wish /usr/bin/wish /usr/bin/wish-default
file /usr/local/bin/wish /usr/bin/wish /usr/bin/wish-default
apt-cache policy tk
echo $SHELL
help | head -n 1

Running those commands will *not* solve your problem, but when you provide the text from the Terminal, that should give useful diagnostic information for figuring out why following mycae's instructions didn't produce the desired effect.

Many thanks, here are the results:

It seems that you never installed the tk package. I guess information as to the need to do that got lost in the confusion over whether or not you had aptitude installed. So, run these commands, in this order:

sudo rm /usr/bin/wish
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tk

Don't close the Terminal window just yet. See if that fixed your problem. (From any open tcsh shell, you may need to run the command "rehash"--without the quotes--in order to make it so that commands you run in the shell can see that wish is available. tcsh shells started after those commands complete don't require that "rehash" be run inside them.)

If it works at that point, great. If it doesn't, please run the additional command

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/wish /usr/local/bin/wish

and then try again to see if that worked (which may involve running "rehash" again in whatever tcsh shell from which you're trying to run the script that uses wish, if you are trying to run this script from within a tcsh shell). If it still doesn't work, then please post again, and paste all the text from the Terminal (starting with the line where you ran the command "sudo rm /usr/bin/wish").

Nope, it still doesn't work and the update starts the JRE install again that
doesn't work either. I did run rehash in the tsch shell as well. I need to
figure out how to get rid of it.

ubuntu:~> sudo ln -s /usr/bin/wish /usr/local/bin/wish
[sudo] password for harrygatley:
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/local/bin/wish': File exists

So it says the file exists but the VULCAN program cannot find it.

ubuntu:~/Vulcan/Ver_6.1.1> VULCAN-CFD

When the update-manger finishes, or if you kill the process, try using the synaptic package manager to install the python-tk package. That should install the /usr/bin/wish (among other things you probably want), and your existing link should work.

Please provide more detail on how to use the synaptic package manger. I'm
still a novice.

click on menu system/administration/SynapticPackageManager,
type in python-tk in the search box,
right click and mark install.
click on the apply buton

Okay, I did that how do I proceed now to get VULCAN to see wish?
