[scilab-Users] Error: can't read debugstate: no such variable

[François Vogel]

You have a problem with something Tcl I think related to setting tabs 
in text widgets on your platform, not with Scipad.

You must fix the first error, not the problem with debugstate, which 
is only a ocnsequence of the first TCL_EvalStr error.

Is it the same with the binary version? Perhaps what you see is due to 
--with-gtk2

Did you try the Tcl demos? Try them.
