replying to my own-self, to whom it concerns... I carried a little research and I have found a few calls for this long running problem with package "tcltk-20030901-1" and earliers. Back in March 2003 there was an answer on GMANE.CYGWYN.DEBUG.INSIGHT, but not really making sense to me. I then debugged wish84g.exe, and found that libitcl32.a is an archives (!<arch>), therefore can not be loaded as DLL using "TclpDlopen,[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (found in tclload.c), then it come to light that the tcltk package must be constructed with: ./configure --enable-shared --enable-load; make all install and finally a little: cd /usr/local/lib; ln -s ../bin/*.dll . It did the trick: now I can use iwidget, itcl, and others... I am sure someone, somewhere knew it before me (sigh). I do not know how to update packages or submit patches, so, I leave the info there.
