I don't know what is tcl, but how I don't have configure switches, configure will generate a makefile that will build the binaries with tcl support, because I am not using this switch: --without-tcl. Regarding to the configure, well, so far I want to use the most easy pwcheck method (I think it's sasldb method), in this case I don't need configure switches, isn't it? By the way, in spite the problem would come from here, I suppose that the daemon most, at least, run properly until I make the validation process. Don't you reckon? Thanks for your help.... I have been working 3 days on this....
