Please, can you run this 4-lines script on Linux with TclTk 9.0b3 ?

Note that it runs as expected with TclTk 9.0b3 on Windows and MacOS, so
I suspect
a) my Linux build is wrong
b) it's a bug only for unix (Linux Ubuntu in my case)

Any suggestion is appreciated.
Here's the script


## ---------------------------------------------------------------------

# Test with TclTk 9.0b3
# Windows: OK
# Linux (Ubuntu): not working (OVAL doesn't change color, no message
is printed)
# MacOS: OK


pack [canvas .c -background yellow]
c create oval {20 20 200 200} -fill red -activefill blue -tag OVAL

c bind OVAL <Enter> { puts "Entering the OVAL"}
c bind OVAL <ButtonPress-1> { puts "Clicked inside the OVAL"}

# Expected behaviour:
# when moving the cursor inside the OVAL
# - it turns from red to blue
# - a message is printed
# when clicking the OVAL
# - a message is printed

may it just happen, that stdout is not shown?
Perhaps, you have started using "wish".
Maybe:
- start with tclsh + package require tk
- replace the puts by tk_messageBox

Just an idea...

Works for me on Debian 12.6, SUSE 15.6 and Ubuntu 24.04.

Many thanks to everybody.
I downloaded tcl/tk 9.0b3 from https://gitlab.com/teclabat/tcltk.

Still the same problems ...

but the root cause was .. my Linux Virtual Machine !

I then installed WSL (https://canonical-ubuntu-wsl.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/guides/install-ubuntu-wsl2/),
WOW , far better than a Virtual Machine !

I was able to run all my Tcl9 tests !

Next days I will publish a few porting of my C-extensions for Tcl9
lets's start with extrafont, perlin-noise ...

Thank you again for your help.

That's a Windows-only issue. On Linux, there is always stdin/out/err connected.
