Age is probably the problem, since I'm running 2.1.5-stable (waiting for
the new CD from my subscription - shouldn't the new CD's have shipped by
now?), but all of the components were originally from the 2.1.5 CD (Tcl75,
tk41, expect-5.21) so I was hoping I could get by until I can update the
OS release. The root of the problem is I'm trying to run the Quakeserver
port in response to my user's requests. I'm assuming I'd be in trouble if
I tried just installing the package(s) from 2.2.

Anything else I can try?

Thanks for getting back to me.
