So I'm guessing you don't have a tclsh in your $PATH, and that is why git-gui could not create its lib/tclIndex. Hmmph. Even as far back as Git 1.5.2 git-gui used a fallback for its lib/tclIndex when tclsh wasn't available or working properly. We're currently on 1.5.2.3 (just released). Please consider upgrading to the latest stable Git (1.5.2.3 or 1.5.2.2 if the .3 isn't available on your mirror of choice yet). -- Shawn.
