[neutron-mc] Bug and fix: mcgui interface crashing with Gtk2 apps running

[Peter Willendrup]

Hello everyone,


NOTE: The problem below applies to Unix systems with gnome only.

Recent updates to Gtk (gnome library) has made the mcgui graphical
interface crash on startup/use of certain gnome applications.

If you experience this problem, please either

1) Install our locally patched version of perl-Tk:

http://www.mcstas.org/download/Tk-804.027_gtk2_patch.tar.gz

(Source code package, requires you to do perl Makefile.PL && make &&
make install)

2) Apply the patch yourself from the patchfile available at

http://www.mcstas.org/download/gtk2-patch


Regards,

Peter Willendrup

Ps.: mcstas-1.9.1 with minor updates and bugfixes will be released very
soon.
