Re: Relating to some syntax error in the gitk script

When I am running the gitk command I get the following error message:-

========================================================================
===========================
Error in startup script: syntax error in expression "$i >= [llength
$argv] && $revtreeargs ne {}"
    while executing
"if {$i >= [llength $argv] && $revtreeargs ne {}} {
    # no -- on command line, but some arguments (other than -d)
    if {[catch {
        set f [eval exec..."
    (file "./gitk" line 7912)
========================================================================
============================

Is there a problem with the script or is it a problem with my
environment...?
What version of Tcl are you running? You should be using >= 8.4

[PATCH] gitk: add check for required tcl version >= 8.4

From: Steffen Prohaska <hidden>

gitk requires tcl version >= 8.4 to work flawlessly. So let's
check the tcl version and quit if it's too low.
