[erlang-questions] Table viewer disappearing

[Kenneth Lundin]

Hi,

tv is a gs based application and thus depends on the gs application
which in turn depends on that you have tcl/tk installed.

Try gs:start() in the Erlang shell, what happens?

As part of this I have used table viewer (tv:start()) and it has worked just fine (using NX/Nomachine & GNOME).  No idea what has changed, but now when I do tv:start(), I get a PID returned but no window displayed.  I've even reverted to machine images from when it was working but still no window spawned. Things like wx:demo() launch just fine.
