how to set tcl version in skill file

Hey there,

How can we set the TCL version in the skill file to override the virtuoso Tcl version?
For example, I tried the below steps but its not working..pls guide me to what's the mistake?
abc.sh is my run file.....inspite defining the tclsh version, still its taking the virtuoso TCL version

command=strcat("export FILE_tclsh=OSS-tcltk-/8.6.9")
command=strcat("xterm -ls -hold -e \"./abc.sh -version\"")
command = strcat(command " -parentTool virtuoso")

cmdPid = ipcSkillProcess(command)
ipcWait(cmdPid)
printf("Finished\n")
)

    Hi,

    I don't know whether that will eventually solve your problem but the above code can never work. The "export FILE_tclsh...." part will never get executed because you overwrite it with the second strcat command. I guess what you really wanted to do is this:

    command=strcat("export FILE_tclsh=OSS-tcltk-/8.6.9 ; ")
    command=strcat(command "xterm -ls -hold -e \"./abc.sh -version\"")
    command = strcat(command " -parentTool virtuoso")

    Note the trailing semicolon of the export command - it is required to separate it from the "xterm" command.
