Hi,
I'm on a CentOS Linux box, tracking 4.6 with Git 1.5.5.4 built from source. 

When I run gitk on a repository it works fine, but nothing happens when I run git-gui. No error messages, nothing.

If I set GITGUI_VERBOSE, I get this

auto_load tk_optionMenu source /usr/share/tk8.4/optMenu.tcl auto_load tk::MenuDup source /usr/share/tk8.4/tearoff.tcl auto_load ::status_bar::new source /home/msoulier/git/share/git-gui/lib/status_bar.tcl auto_load class source /home/msoulier/git/share/git-gui/lib/class.tcl auto_load load_all_remotes source /home/msoulier/git/share/git-gui/lib/remote.tcl auto_load spellcheck::init source /home/msoulier/git/share/git-gui/lib/spellcheck.tcl

and then it just sits there. 
I have Tcl/Tk 8.4.9. 
How would I troubleshoot this? 

Thanks, Mike
