No it's correct for the -L. They are only used at link time, so after
this link is carried out, the .o files are no longer relevant.

It's the -R which is the pain in the but, and I don't see it in your link
command. If you look at the code is tk8.3.2/unix/aclocal.m4 there's
a whole bunch of code to figure out TK_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS. I'm trying
to use configure.in to recover this value from tkConfig.sh. BTW, there
was a typo in what I posted - it should be edit
tix-8.1.0/unix/tk8.3/configure and change

TIX_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS=$TCL_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS
 to
TIX_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS=$TK_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS

May sure that is in TK_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS is in tk8.3.2/unix/tkConfig.sh,
and that TIX_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS gets set to this value in your
unix/tk8.3.2/unix/Makefile after you rm config.* and rerun configure.
(Maybe you could email me these two files as attachments so I can look at it).

One other possible (temporary solution): set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to add
the installed library directory.

Thanks for your help in nailing this one down.

Mike.
