RE: linker problems [was Now I know why its free]

[Chris R. <Chr...@ca...>]

The tcl library can either be a .a extension or a .so extension

Tell the Configure script to use libtcl8.x.so as the tcl library.

Hmm - something must be amiss with my tcl build as that 
was what I expected, but no libtcl.a or libtcl8.3.a exists

It definitely wants your tcl library.

% ls -l /usr/local/lib | grep tcl
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other     931436 Oct  4  2000 libtcl.a
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     other    3511708 Oct  5  2000 libtcl8.0.a
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     other     931436 Oct 13  2000 libtcl8.3.a
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     other     688484 Sep  8  2000 libtcl8.3.so
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other       1888 Oct 13  2000 libtclstub8.3.a
drwxr-xr-x   8 root     other       8192 Oct 13  2000 tcl8.3
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other       6726 Oct 13  2000 tclConfig.sh

In our case libtcl.a is the same thing as libtcl8.3.a (based on the size).
