git-gui failure can't find tk.framework

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install: git-1.6.5-intel-leopard.dmg
2. shell execute: git gui

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Unknown, I've never seen git gui before, but I get:
Nightfall:Git 1.6.5 Intel Leopard whoughton$ git gui
dyld: Library not loaded: 
/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk
  Referenced from: /usr/local/git/share/git-gui/lib/Git 
Gui.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish
  Reason: image not found
error: git-gui died of signal 5

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
git 1.6.5 on OS X 10.5.8 (intel)

Please provide any additional information below.

Hmm... very interesting.  Do you have the folder 
/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework ? if so, what do you have in 
there?

please post the results of find /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework

Then, try installing the latest TclAqua, available here: 
http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/

Nothing found:
Nightfall:~ whoughton$ find /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework
find: /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework: No such file or directory

Yet:
Nightfall:~ whoughton$ find /Developer -iname "tk.framework"
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework

I'll install the tcltk stuff next. thanks!

Ok, it appears that git is binding against the latest TclAqua I've installed in 
/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework, rather than the system installed one in 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework.

This is really weird though, because I didn't have to rebuild git in order for 
it's gui tools to take advantage of 
the enhancements of the latest TclAqua.

I'm sure there is some flag to set to specify where to look for Tk.framework.

I will look in to setting a flag.

Please let me know if latest TclAqua solves your problem (it really is worth 
the upgrade, there's been a lot of 
improvement in TclAqua since the release shipped with your mac).

It is installed now:
Nightfall:~ whoughton$ find /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework
/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework
/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Headers
...

But I'm now getting a Wish error:
Nightfall:~ whoughton$ git gui
dyld: Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk
  Referenced from: /usr/local/git/share/git-gui/lib/Git

Oh duh, I got 8.6 not 8.5 I guess.

I've tried this on several fresh-installed machines, and it worked.  I can't
reproduce this issue.  Until I get a way that I can reproduce it, I'm going to 
mark
this as invalid.

I'm seeing this issue as well, however my machine is not running from a fresh
install.  Incidentally, I don't have Tcl installed at all.  I'm running OS 
10.5.8 and
am about to install TclAqua as specified above.

It seems that I should probably add a note about this and that readme file for 
the
installer. When you install tclaqua, you should be able to run the gui without 
any
problems.

Just a note, I see the issue on Leopard and not Snow Leopard. With the 
developer tools installed the only place I 
see tk.framework is in the sdks.

I will add a note about this in the readme file, thank you. I don't think it's
appropriate to bundle tcl-aqua as most computer seem to have it (I swear that 
I've
used it on a computer that didn't have developer tools installed).

Very helpful.  Thanks!  When I installed 8.5, the error went away.

Minor update:

The site:
    http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/
redirects to:
    http://www.categorifiedcoder.info/tcltk/
which reports 404 Object not found.

The site:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcltkaqua/
offers only 8.4, not 8.5.

The site:
     http://wiki.tcl.tk/12987
suggests downloading from:
     http://www.activestate.tcl
which does not exist.  They probably meant:
     http://www.activestate.com
so I reported the typo to them.

The site:
    http://www.activestate.com
works fine.  I downloaded:
    ActiveTcl8.5.8.2.292682-macosx-universal-threaded.dmg
and it works fine.  Error now gone.  Thanks!

I see the same error from Comment 5:
dyld: Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk
  Referenced from: /usr/local/git/share/git-gui/lib/Git Gui.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish
  Reason: image not found
error: git-gui died of signal 5

This is with OS 10.5.8, git installed from git-1.7.1-intel-leopard.dmg

I have no /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework, but do have 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.4/
