CentOS - Nov 2008 - Help with TCL/TK on centos 5.2 unknown color black

Hi all,

I am using centos 5.2 x86_64 on a box. and getting this error:
 wish -f pcalert.tcl
Error in startup script: unknown color name "black"
    (processing "-background" option)
    invoked from within
"canvas .c -height $canvas_height -width $screen_width -background black 
-highlightthickness 0 "
    invoked from within
"set c [canvas .c -height $canvas_height -width $screen_width 
-background black -highlightthickness 0 ]"
    (file "pcalert.tcl" line 138)


I take the same script on 3 other machines with centos 5.2 x86_64 and it 
runs just fine.
What is the machine that gives the errors missing that is doesnt know 
what black is???

Thanks,

Jerry

Is the troubled box running the same version (8.4.13) of tk/tcl as the
other three?  How about xorg-x11-server-utils ?

Also showrgb prints all the colors.

here is the information:
more /etc/redhat-release

check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the differents machines.
-> RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
