Sounds like the configure isn't generating the Makefile correctly. Edit the makefile and add a -L/path/to/the/library to the step that is creating the oratcl library and see if that fixes things. Also, submit a bug report at oratcl.sf.net . Oh, have you tried the very latest version of oratcl to see if that displays the same problem? -- <URL: http://wiki.tcl.tk/ > Even if explicitly stated to the contrary, nothing in this posting should be construed as representing my employer's opinions. <URL: mailto:lvirden@xxxxxxxxx > <URL: http://www.purl.org/NET/lvirden/ > -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of redhat Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2007 12:00 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: Compiling oratcl needs library libtclstub8.4.12.a Thanks for the reply!
