tk_messageBox "invalid command name" on v8.3.4

[jimmyg08]

hi,
i am having trouble invoking tk_messageBox, among other built-in tk commands.. i am using tcl/tk 8.3.4 running on sgi irix 6.5.

i tried rebuilding tcl/tk with the standard configure flags (--prefix, --with-tcl=,etc) to no avail. I am assuming i am missing some other libraries that i need.. but not sure what?? i'm at aloss as to what to do..

thanx in advance!!

Just to be sure: you don't use a slave interpreter? (this doesn't seem)
Because on my Windows box a slave interpreter doesn't know about Tk until loading it.

Good luck!
