During the build process, the tcl shared module is created like this:
gcc -pipe -shared -Wl,-soname,libtcl.so.0 -o pltcl.so pltcl.o -L/usr/lib -ltcl -ldl -lieee -lm -lc
specifying the soname "libtcl.so.0" and at the same time linking to
libtcl.so.0 (which is the name of the shared tcl library in RHL 7.2)
results in trouble when loading it later.
Creating the module with a different so-name ("libtcl" seems like a
bad idea to use outside the main package) solves the problem and gives
you a module which loads
gcc -pipe -shared -Wl,-soname,libpgtcl.so.0 -o pltcl.so pltcl.o -L/usr/lib -ltcl -ldl -lieee -lm -lc
