Hmm, based the above I tried explicitly telling the interpreter to load
/iw/tcl/current/lib/libtcl8.3g.so using the Java code:
theInterp.eval("load /iw/tcl/current/lib/libtcl8.3g.so");
just before the part of the code that was causing the relocation error, but
that causes a different error to happen before I even get to the place that
was getting the relocation error:
caught tcl.lang.TclException: Can't find tclx.tcl in the following
directories:
/usr/local/lib/tclX8.2
/home/dnew/perforce/openSource/Release/tcl/8.3.0/lib/tclX8.2
./lib/tclX8.2
./tclX8.2/tcl/.

I tried
ldd /iw/tcl/current/lib/TclExpat-1.1/tclexpat.so
but it showed no dependencies at all (nothing printed).

I don't know what "stubs support" means in this context. Can you please
elaborate? Thanks
