Well, I don't know any Chinese, but I know some TCL. It looks to me like the
version of TCL isn't recent enough to support the "pathtype" parameter on the
file command.

The TCL home page is here:

    http://www.tcl.tk/

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work very well right now.

"file pathtype" seems to have been in TCL since 7.5, perhaps even 7.4. My
RedHat 6.2 box has TCL 8.0, so you can guess how old 7.4/7.5 are.

I can't remember the TCL to tell you what version you're running. Try
something like this:

    grep TCL_VERSION /usr/lib/tclConfig.sh

or:

    find / -name tclConfig.sh | xargs grep TCL_VERSION

Hope that helps.

Bye, Rich =]
