Synopsis

tcl bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated tcl packages that resolve an issue are now available.

Description

Tcl is a simple scripting language designed to be embedded into other applications. Tcl is designed to be used with Tk, a widget set.

These updated tcl packages fix a bug which resulted in "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32" error messages when attempting to run tcl scripts on a 64-bit multilib system where both the 32-bit and 64-bit packages dependent on tcl were installed.

All users of tcl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.
