Can't build Guiconfig in nRF Connect on Mac

I have nRF Connect SDK v2.6.1 installed on a Mac, the latest toolchain installed via nRF Connect for Desktop, and VSCode with all the nRF extensions.  Everything works pretty well except that I cannot build and run the guiconfig tool.  The Python terminal window shows the following results:

* Executing task: west build -d /Users/Glen/Documents/Projects/nordic/ncs-inter/inter_less1_exer2/build -t guiconfig

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

It appears to be looking for an init.tcl file that I confirmed is not in any of the directories listed.  I confirmed that Tcl is on my Mac, version 8.5.9.

  • I am also using Mac and I got this error message:

    I did this ugly workaround inspired by the other replies.
