Hi,

I am trying to run tcl of my PPC460ex board. I have download the tcl-8.3.3-sol26-sparc-local.gz file. But when I run it I get the Syntax error.

I am not sure if I missed out something.

I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me on this.

Thanks,
efti

That tarball seems to indicate it's for both Solaris and Sparc. PPC460ex is neither of those.

We'd need more information. Things like:

1) What kernel you are running
2) What userspace OS
3) The URL to the tcl you're downloading
4) The actual error message

Which may well mean that the 'syntax error' is from the shell trying to interpret (as a shell script) a sparc elf binary that the kernel has failed to 'exec'.
