While attempting to compile the modules-package
(http://modules.sourceforge.net), I get the error message that make can't
find the file libtcl. I have checked that, the file libtcl exists in
/usr/lib. I am using gnu make and the IBM ld. Any solutions?

You have not stated your problem yet.

Which command line failed, ans what was the *exact* error message?

Cheers,

I'll paste the relevant portion of the compile (actually the linking part)
that goes haywire...

gcc -o modulecmd -L/opt/freeware/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -g
ModuleCmd_Avail.o ModuleCmd_Clear.o ModuleCmd_Display.o ModuleCmd_Help.o
ModuleCmd_Init.o ModuleCmd_List.o ModuleCmd_Load.o ModuleCmd_Purge.o

ld

pen(): A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
collect2: ld returned 255 exit status
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

Please note: tcl8.3 does exist in /opt/freeware/lib

Does _libtcl8.3.a_ exist in /opt/freeware/lib? It must be
that exact name, or the linker won't find it.

I found the problem... gcc compiles a *.so library, and I need a *.a
library. Fixing this solved my problems.
