If I guess well, you might not have the proper TCL/TK library on your
target machine.
The toolbar depends on the GS application that depends on TK.

This might be the cause of your problem.
However, it is ofter safer to do a clean install of the Erlang
environment. The 'configure' will warn you in case of missing
libraries.
