I installed pg 7.1, b5 last night.  My first pg install ever.  On RedHat 6.1.

I installed it --with-tcl but it failed.  RedHat 6.1 comes with Tcl 8.0.3 and certain Tcl symbols were not installed.
WhenI upgraded to Tcl 8.3, the link succeeded, although running PG itself failed until /etc/ld.so.conf was updated and
ldconfigrun. 

I don't know if this is a PG bug, or just something to be documented.  But you may wish to make a note in the pg 7.1
installationprocedure document, that --with-tcl switch appears to require a post 8.0.3 Tcl to be installed. 

Thanks,

Jerry Asher
