Pre-requisites
Tcl/Tk 8.4 or higher is required to run SynDEx:
-
for Windows:
use the ActiveTcl distribution which can be downloaded freely
here.
- for Mac OS X: the Tcl/Tk version installed by default may
be too old. You'd better install the ActiveTcl distribution
which can be downloaded freely
here. Install the most recent 8.4.X version.
Then, before running SynDEx, you'll have to change your
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to use this Tcl/Tk
instead of the default one installed in /System/Library.
In the terminal, use the following command:
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework:/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
-
for Linux: you shouldn't have anything
to install as Tcl/Tk comes with the standard
distributions. Otherwise you can check with your
system administrator or install it from
here or also from the ActiveTcl distribution.
Please note that if you have a Tcl/Tk
version higher than 8.4, running SynDEx might fail.
For Linux, creating a symbolic link to your
installed version of the library should solve the
problem. For Windows, renaming the dll should solve
the problem.
Download
SynDEx v7 runs under Linux, Windows, Mac OS X platforms:
Previous releases are

Installation
Uncompress and extract the downloaded archive. Under
Windows use WinRar; under Linux and Mac OS X use the
command:
tar -xvzf syndex-7.0.x-xxx.tar.gz
This will create in the current directory the
subdirectory syndex-7.0.x containing all the
distributed files. The executable is the file
named syndex-7.0.x in the bin directory. For Windows,
add it a .exe extension.
