a) will scotty 2.1.0 work without shared libraries?

It requires dynamic loadable libraries, not necessarily shared
libraries. On Linux, you should have ELF support. It might also work
with an a.out systems but this clearly needs some hand tuning.

b) If not, can I run shared libraries on Linux (not really a
tkined/scotty question but reasonably relevant under the
circumstances), where can I found out how to do this.

Make sure you have an ELF system. Everything else is somehow outdated
nowadays.

c) If it will, can anyone help with debugging the Make file.

Pick up one of the patches circulating around or wait until I try
again. :-)

Another possible issue, in tkined.c there is a function declared

Tk_CreateMainWindow(arg,arg,arg,arg).

But tk4.1 only has the function

TkCreateMainWindow(arg,arg,arg)

Is this a tk version or scotty problem.

tkined.c is not really used anymore. So the solution is as simple as
"rm tkined.c".
