Guiconfig fails due to missing TCL library

This looks like an issue with your paths. If you build the same using command line e.g. west build, do you get the same issue? (Reverting back to how it was before removing the two TCL variables)

Yes. I installed all the versions I have using the Toolchain Manager...

I did some further investigation and found the location of the init.tcl file (called by the TCL/TK interpreter when it starts):

I then tried removing the two TCL (system-wide) environment variables in my system. TCL_DIR and TCL_LIB are required for some other tools. After restarting VSC, this change allowed the Guiconfig tool to run.

So there is an interaction issue w.r.t. these environment variables. I'm guessing that the python script should specify a specific path to the init.tcl file it wants, or the installation (via the Toolchain Manager) should update one or both of the TCL_ environment variables (if they exist).

Hello,

Have you installed the nRF Connect SDK with the Toolchain Manager? I am not able to reproduce this issue, and I'm not able to find any TCL library in my install.

Kind regards,
