I'm trying to get WordNet to work on my Notebook but it fails in the make step of the process as follows:

Both XCode and the command line toolset are installed in their current versions.

Thanks for your help!

  • Have you installed Tcl/Tk? – justhalf Sep 18 '13 at 13:37

    The problem is that the newest version of Tcl has dropped Tcl_Interp, and the WordNet guys dont seem to be on the ball here.. I have tried to find a solution for this. Check out this bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=902561 – Dan-Simon Myrland Nov 22 '13 at 12:33
  • I've "solved" my problem by not compiling it myself but using prebuilt packages. There are Ubuntu packages (named "wordnet") and packages in the macports packages for OSX (named "wn"). – Matthias Nov 23 '13 at 13:24

I faced same problem on Ubuntu. It got resolved machine when I uninstalled the latest version of Tcl (i was trying it with Tcl 8.6 first). And installed an older version of Tcl 8.4. With older version Wordnet installed flawlessly
