Thanks, I had no idea how wacky before visiting this file.

You are right, I missed that "$machine" reference.  It should be "amd64" 
or it should be taken out.  Here is a question that might help resolve 
which way to go...  I run tclsh and setup the environment manually much 
like jclsh does -- all in 32bit Linux.  I noticed that I could leave out 
2 or 3 directories from the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and still have a "working" 
(as far as I know) TclBlend.  One directory I could leave out for 
32bit/x86 Linux (with Sun JDK 1.5 atleast) was "native_threads".  Is 
this going to bite me later?  or is "native_threads" not necessary?

Trying to login to CVS...  did this from 2 different hosts/networks and 
still no luck, I'll try later.
# cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/tcljava login
(Logging in to ano...@cv...)
CVS password:
cvs login: authorization failed: server cvs.sourceforge.net rejected 
access to /cvsroot/tcljava for user anonymous

Thanks,
Scott
