Thread: Error in Makefile.tcldefs
Ian Harding (ianh@tpchd.org) reports a bug with a severity of 3 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description Error in Makefile.tcldefs Long Description 'gmake' process blows up when it gets to compiling pl/tcl. The error message is something to the effect of "flag '-Wl,-R/usr/pgk/lib'is not recognized." I didn't see where -Wl was a valid flag in a quick scan of the man page for gmake,so I simply deleted '-Wl,' from the TCL_LIB_SPEC line in Makefile.tcldefs in the /src/pl/tcl directory. I have noidea what damage I may have done, but all appears to be well as I can install pltcl and create functions.

How about showing the actual thing and the actual effect? -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://funkturm.homeip.net/~peter

My guess is that your Tcl installation is broken: tclConfig.sh contains
settings that aren't actually valid for your system. Did you build
Tcl from source?
