current version is 0.87, but this should not be relevant, 0.85 should also
be installed.

Could you please verify what inside /usr/local/ActiveTcl/lib/
Is there libtcl8.4.sl ?

there is some excerpt from Tcl.xs:

#ifndef TCL_LIB_FILE
# ifdef WIN32
#   define TCL_LIB_FILE "tcl84.dll"
# elif defined(__hpux)
#   define TCL_LIB_FILE "libtcl8.4.sl"
# else
#   define TCL_LIB_FILE "libtcl8.4.so"
# endif
#endif

so you should have libtcl8.4.sl

does your compiler defines __hpux ?

Interestingly, Tcl-0.85 should be 'harder' to install than Tcl-Tk-0.85, as
Tcl-Tk is pure-perl.
