Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk applicationcouldn't

[CannotConfig]

---

I get this error message when I want to run some of my software in linux.

Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk applicationcouldn't connect to display "localhost.localdomain:59535

I can run xclock and wish with no problems, but somehow it doesn't allow my software to run tk.



I was thinking somehow it might be related to my xserver. When I do startx OR Xorf -configure, I get

xauth: file $HOMEi/.serverauth.5225 does not exist

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.

Originally, I had things working on Centos before my boot partition was destroyed and I had to re-install. Didn't think their would be issues between Centos and Fedora. Can anyone help me with this issue. Thanks.

The "tk" interpreter is wish. If you are attempting to run it as a script, this might be whar is still needed. I did TCL/TK stuff back in the 90s.

#!/bin/sh
# the "sh" will not see this comment line that continues as a comment but "wish" will... \
exec wish "$0" "$@"
#this is code that is written in TK at this point and below... such as:
button .b -text "Push Me" -command {tk_messageBox -message  "hello, world"}
pack .b

Note: The only character after the "\" is the enter key (i.e. newline).

So the critical lines are:

#!/bin/bash
# \
exec wish "$0" "$@"

at the start of the executable script file. I would add the comment text to the line so in 6 months from now and you look at the code you will remember that the TCL/TK comments can be continued unlike sh/bash/zsh/korn.

this is not a wish problem. actually, I find that I can run wish without problem as well as some other tk applications. I was thinking it was related to my xserver. I'm not sure where this localdomain.localhost:5225 is coming from and how to fix it
