gs:start(). gives no result, that is the Erlang shell has to be interrupted manually, so I guess your assumption must be right - it should be a problem with gs. So how could I correct this? I assumed the installation of gs together with other libraries would have been handled by 'make install'. At least there is a gs-1.3.6 directory under Root_Of_Erlang/lib/erlang/lib.

If I go into Root_Of_Erlang_Source/lib/gs and do a ./configure there is a complain about Tcl standalone support:

checking standalone support of Tcl... don't know
== Warning: Your libtcl7.6.a is not yet created in the directory
   /opt/erlang/src/otp_src_R6B-0/lib/gs/c_src/lib/tcl7.6/unix, so I cannot determine this.
   For now I just assume there is standalone support.
   If you get an error later during the build of wish.standalone,
   then first compile Tcl7.6 with standalone support.

but the compilation via make keeps going. Any ideas?
