Dear Matic
I did installed libtcl8.5.dll but now I am getting error
libGL error: Windows-DRI extension not available
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 3
ResourceID in failed request: 0xffffffff
Serial number of failed request: 748
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
