This is the release 4.3.0 of Itcl. It is intended to be script compatible with Itcl 4.0.* and Itcl 3.4.* . It very likely presents the same public C interface as Itcl 4.0.* . It includes incompatible changes to internal structs when compared with Itcl 4.0.* . Unfortunately, the extension Itk 4.0.* intrudes in those internals and will notice and break in the presence of Itcl 4.1.* . When you upgrade to Itcl 4.1 , you must also upgrade to Itk 4.1 . It is possible you will find other extensions and applications repeating Itk's error.
