[Magic-dev] issue with TCL magic on Mac OS X

[Harmesh Lad]

Hi,

I have been having some trouble getting the
TCL version of magic 7.4.19 running on
Mac OS X 10.4.6.  I have tclsh 8.4 and
wish 8.4 on my system.    I compile with build.sh
(a script I wrote; see attachment), which
seemed to run successfully (see build.log,
make.log, install.log).  

When I run bin/magic, it crashes with a
seg fault.  Next I tried running
lib/magic/tcl/magicexec, which also crashed
with a seg fault.  I ran it under gdb and found
the crash occurs at a call to XDefaultColormap
in grTk1.c (see gdb.log).

I successfully compiled and ran magic with TCL
disabled.

Next, I tried changing the XDefaultColormap
call in grTk1.c to Tk_Colormap (see grTk1.c.patch)
and recompiling.  When I do this, magicexec crashes
with a seg fault on the following call
(XDefaultVisual).
bin/magic also crashes with a seg fault.

Any suggestions?
