I am on a Debain Stretch machine. I tried running ./globusconnectpersonal after downloading it from the globus website and it returned the phrase

my@cpu:~/script/globusconnectpersonal-2.3.6$ ./globusconnectpersonal
Tcllib not found.
The Globus Connect Personal GUI requires Tcllib.
Please install Tcllib using your distributions package management system.
On Debian based systems (e.g. Ubunutu):
  apt-get install tcllib
On Redhat based systems (e.g. CentOS, Fedora):
  yum install tcllib
 Note: if you encounter an error about tcllib not being
 available, it can be found here and installed manually:
 http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcllib/
You may also run Globus Connect Personal in CLI mode.
Please use the -help option or visit http://globus.org/globus-connect-personal/
for more information.

So I ran apt-get install tcllib but I recieve the same message. This is weird for two reasons. First this is some output I get to check whether or not I have it downloaded.

my@cpu:~$ dpkg -l | grep tcl

my@cpu:~$ whereis tcllib
tcllib:

So what exactly is happening? Do I need to change my paths or something so that my laptop can recognize it?

  • What is that program doing when it emits that "Tcllib not found" error? You'll have to dig into the code a little bit. – glenn jackman Feb 17 '19 at 13:36
  • You will have to be more specific about how you obtained global connect, and how you try to run it. Seems this is specific to your setup: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1115411/globus-personal-connect-tcllib-installed-but-keeps-showing-tcllib-not-found – mrcalvin Feb 17 '19 at 22:21
  • What is the output of running: `echo 'puts $auto_path; package req csv' | tclsh` (this approximates what `globalconnect.tcl` is about to attempt.)? – mrcalvin Feb 17 '19 at 22:39
  • @mrcalvin I have the same issue and when I run your line there the output is `/home/owner/anaconda3/lib/tcl8.6 /home/owner/anaconda3/lib can't find package csv` – Nova Apr 08 '19 at 14:03
