The problem isn't that there is a library missing, rather you have
supplied an invalid library.  What you really want at the end there
is:

        -L/disks/sources/tcl7.6/generic -L/disks/sources/tcl7.6/unix

Also, if you're going to be using Modules 3.0 Beta 1, you should get
my patches from http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~flan/
