Re: [omnetpp] The BLT Tcl/Tk extension is required by this program

[Javier Díaz <javier_diaz at xxx>]

Hello,

I use Tcl/Tk 8.5 (my linux distro installs this version) and it seems
BLT 2.4 it is not compatible with this version of Tcl/Tk
and appears the error that you told. So I imagine, that if your version
of Tcl/Tk is also 8.5, the only solution is that the BLT developers
adapt it to 8.5 version.
