It's automatically built as part of building tcl8.3.

One thing I'm wondering; what version of the XFree86 libraries do you have insalled? Mine are version 3.0.5. Are yours 3.0.6, by any chance? It may be that my libraries are mismatched to what tcl8.3 wants to see.

It didn't make any difference; the libtcl8.3 library still had the undefined symbol. There's something odder happening here; a check inside the libraries for tcl8.0, 8.2, and 8.4 all show that "__xuname" is a symbol in all of them. Since it doesn't seem to be defined anywhere, I'm stumped as to how to proceed to get around this problem. Is anyone else having this problem running tcl/tk programs of _any_ recent vintage?

Best guess would be that you installed from packages rather than ports, and the packages were in some way mismatched. Installing software from ports avoids this risk, but with packages you should be able to get them all from one place and have it work. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Problem with libtcl8.3 on FBSD 5.1
I've recently installed FreeBSD 5.1 on my Athlon-based machine, and most everything seems to be working ok. However, I have a problem trying to run any s/w that uses the Tcl library libtcl8.3.so.1. Whenver I run such a program, including wish8.3, tkdesk, tkman and others, I get the following error message: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libtcl83.so.1: Undefined \ symbol "__xuname" I have no idea why I would have such an undefined symbol in an officially ported FBSD package. Can anyone give me some insight into this problem, and a possible solution? TIA for any help you can give me. Steve O'Neill -- "I think, therefore I thwim." R. Descartes "I think, therefore I thwim."
