Re: larger issue (Re: Linux install misses Tk)

[mindless (Alan Harder)]

My input-

1. A java port would be a LOT of work and would gain very little.

2. All the recent troubles have nothing to do with how well perl or any
   of these packages work.  The beauty of the current system is that on
   ANY architecture and flavor of unix, anyone with the ability to download,
   compile and install a few packages can get PilotManager up and running.

   The problems we've been seeing lately are because we are trying to
   expand our user base to include those who don't have the technical
   ability to setup these packages themselves.  Unfortunately we don't
   yet have a Setup script robust enough to handle all problems.. but we'll
   get there.
