TkExtra on Solaris

[Steve Emsley]

Thanks Marcus, building Swarm on Solaris --disable-shared solved my
initial problem. Now heatbugs runs fine in batch mode. However, when I
try to run the gui I get an error familiar to me from attempts at
another sparc installation. The previous install as a binary whereas
this is an archive.

Checking the mail-list the only suggestions regarding this problem
were to check the environment variables:

     SWARMHOME=/tmp/lsrjz/swarm-bin
     TCL_LIBRARY=/home/crocus3/ls/rjz/swarm/lib
     TK_LIBRARY=/home/crocus3/ls/rjz/swarm/lib
     BLT_LIBRARY=/home/crocus3/ls/rjz/swarm/lib

I also tried BLT_LIBRARY=/home/crocus3/ls/rjz/swarm/lib/BLT2.3.
DISPLAY was set to my dynamically assigned ip address and the server
was assigned to my access control list. ldd heatbugs appears to find
all required libraries. However, I did build tcl/tk/blt with
--enable-shared. Before I redo the whole installation with shared
libraries disabled I thought I'd check with any Solaris user as to
whether that is the problem. Or is it a problem with my tclobjc
install? Which version of tclobjc goes with tcl7.6/tk4.2/blt2.3?
