Trying upgrade to Swarm 1.2 on MKLinux DR3 (8500/120), and I keep running into a problem Miles Parker mentioned some time ago (4/13/98), i.e., the reluctance of BLT to locate/accept Tcl and Tk shared libs:

The DR3 Redhat installer sets up Tcl & Tk 8.02 shared libs, so all my relevant files have the .so suffix, rather than the .a that the BLT config script seems to want. I've tried reinstalling Tcl and Tk from ppc SRPMs, but get nothing but core dump. Then I tried installing new Tcl / Tk sources from Scriptics (in /usr with -shared and -gcc enabled), and came up with the following error at tcl configure:
gcc -c -O -fPIC -I./../generic -I. -DHAVE_GETCWD=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DUSE_TERMIOS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TIME_H=1 -DTIME_WITH_SYS_TIME=1 -DHAVE_TM_ZONE=1 -DHAVE_TM_GMTOFF=1 -DHAVE_TIMEZONE_VAR=1 -DHAVE_ST_BLKSIZE=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SIGNED_CHAR=1 -DHAVE_SYS_IOCTL_H=1 -DTCL_SHLIB_EXT=\".so\" ./tclMtherr.c

Where do I go from here?
Thanks in advance,
