BLT2.1

[Todd Allen]

It's been over ten years since I did any serious unix/c programming so
I'm more than a little rusty.  I have successfully installed the
appropriate versions of gnu c++, objective c, tk, tcl, etc., and have
only BLT2.1 and the swarm libraries left to install.  BLT is giving me
some serious problems.  The configure script seemed to execute OK.  A
copy of the output of the configure script is attached.  When I run the
make script, it concludes with the following error:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/temp/blt2.1/src'
making BLT demo "bltwish"...
rm -f bltwish
gcc -O3 -fno-strength-reduce -Wwrite-strings -Wshadow -Wtraditional

-lm 
./tkAppInit.c:29 warning: 'rcsid' defined but not used
ld: cannot open -ldl: No such file or directory
make: *** [bltwish] Error 1

Any idea what is going wrong?
