#153 archer fails to start

[Scott Hathcock]

Hi,
I'm glad to see that you are moving brlcad to a mixed
CGS and surface modeler by adding more NURBs support. Great Job!

When I run archer in both 7.10.2 and 7.10.4 I get the following message. I can find the tclStubsPtr in both the libtclstub.a and libtcl.so. The 8.4 version of tcl is in /usr/lib and the 8.5 is in the brlcad install directory structure. Setting LD_PATH does not help.

Thanks
Scott

Scott, thanks for the encouragement. Adding NURBS/BREP support is a b!tch, but well worth it in the long run. Do you happen to still see this problem starting archer with the latest 7.12.2 release? It's archer startup process has since changed a fair bit. If it does still fail, what is your configure line?
