[Magic-dev] magic init problem

[R. Timothy Edwards]

Dear Minchen,

Apparently Tcl 8.3 allows one to use "true" and "false" unquoted
if setting a variable but not if testing it, which I assume was a
bug, not a feature, and was clearly corrected in version 8.4.

There is only one occurrence of the error, and the correction is
to change line 179 of tcltk/magic.tcl.in from

    if {$do_wrapper == true} {

to just

    if {$do_wrapper} {

and do "make install" again.

I will correct this in the distribution and repost it.  Thanks for
reporting the problem.
