I was able to get it to start using an IP address.  It sounds as if
it can't find the tclhttpd/lib directory which contains all the code.  Namely
the Config proc.

There is a later version then 3.1.0 (If that's not a typo) and Brent
said that sometime in the next couple of days there is going
to put together a 3.2.1.  You can patch 3.2 it yourself with the
patches available on sourceforge.

You may want to grab the latest release and then try again.

You can put it where wherever you want.  I have mine in a c:/tcl/tclhttpd3.2
directory.
