Unfortunately Tcl/Tk 8.5 no longer works on macOS Monterey and several versions of Tcl/Tk 8.6 also have issues on Monterey.

For using ProB Tcl/Tk on macOS Monterey you need to do this:

  • use the latest nightly build of ProB
    (note: nightly builds are not notarised, so you need e.g. to run xattr -rc ProB where ProB is the folder containing probcli, lib/ stdlib/ …)

  • install either Active Tcl/Tk 8.6.9 (which unfortunately has a few bugs, notably the TkTable extension crashing and double clicks not working; also this version is no longer available as a recommended version on the Active site; possibly due to the above issues)

  • or better install Tcl/Tk 8.6.12 using Homebrew or MacPorts. As they install Tcl/Tk in a “non-standard” place you then need to set the SP_TCL_DSO environment variable to point to tcl8.6.dylib, e.g., by calling export SP_TCL_DSO=/usr/local/Cellar/tcl-tk/8.6.12/lib/libtcl8.6.dylib
