Tclerror: unknown color name "black"

I have just installed CentOS 5.4 and one of the applications I'm trying to run is PyMol - a molecular visualization tool - and when I start it I get a Python error that terminates with "Tclerror: unknown color name black" This particular application has two windows, a view window and a TCL/TK window that provides menus, and action buttons. The view window shows up but the Tcl/Tk window does not.

I have another application that gives a similar error: "tclerror: unknown color name grey90" This application does load and run, but it is a much more complex app that is likely only partially hindered. I haven't found yet how this one fails.

It seems to me that I don't have tcl/tk installed, configured, or enabled correctly, but I have no idea how to test this or how to troubleshoot the problems.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I figured it out. In my xorg.conf file, the parameter RgbPath was set incorrectly. I did a global find to locate the rgb.txt file and set RgbPath appropriately. All is well now.

Usually, centOS 5.4 doesn't need a xorg.conf file. Have you tried renaming it to something else and starting X?

Regards.
