Cannot Find BWidget Package

PolSARpro
1

Hello there,

I installed PolSarPro and all of the configuration programs on Windows and ran into an error.

I got an error saying the BWidget Package cannot be found. I looked over the forum and saw that someone previously fixed it by downloading the BWidget TCL package. However, I am unsure where I am supposed to put the package so PolSarPro can read it.
Right now, I am not able to get the program to run.

Many applications can include tcl/tk installations, for example TeX Live, R, and Anaconda. Your problem could occur if you have more than one tcl/tk system installed on your computer and a PATH variable set to give priority to a tcl/tk installation that lacks BWidget. You may have to examine the PATH variable and search your disk for tcl/tk programs such as “wish.exe” and then “BWidget*.*” (to find BWidget-N.N.N directories). From this you can determine which of your tcl/tk systems have BWidget.

Have you solved this issue or not yet? I am facing same issue now.

If it’s still relevant. I solved this problem like this:

  1. I have ActiveTcl installed in c:\ActiveTcl\bin. I run tclsh in this directory and check in console if BWidget is installed.
    package require BWidget
    If empty, then module is not installed, if it shows version, then it is installed (mine was empty).

  2. Then I downloaded this module here: https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/BWidget.

  3. Put it in a folder c:\ActiveTcl\lib
    lib

  4. I checked that it was installed
    package require BWidget
    BWidget

  5. run PolSARPro
    It works

Unfortunately, the Windows installation instructions are largely incomplete. The bwidget package is notoriously only an optional component for Tcl/Tk scripts; you can find that as a dependency within the Linux platform instructions.
