xbindkeys_show: exec: wish not found

Question

I installed xbindkeys via sudo apt-get install xbindkeys

Now when I run xbindkeys_show I get:

$ xbindkeys_show 
/usr/bin/xbindkeys_show: 3: exec: wish: not found

The question is: How can I run this program? What dependencies are missing?

Answer 1

In 13.10 I do not have a wish package.

 (0)asus-romano:~% apt-file search /usr/bin/wish
 tk: /usr/bin/wish-default
 tk8.4: /usr/bin/wish8.4
 tk8.5: /usr/bin/wish8.5
 tk8.6: /usr/bin/wish8.6

So I suppose the package is tk (and probably tcl)

 apt-get install tcl tk 

(but this is a bug in packaging... if it's needed should be a dependency)

Answer 2

You need to install the package wish.

The package xbindkeys only suggests wish so it is not installed as a dependency by default.

Use something like

sudo apt-get install --install-suggests xbindkeys

to install a package with the packages it suggests
