This problem has nothing to do with your TCLLIBPATH. (I already
changed the scotty to be a bit smarter about when to show this error
message.) The symbol __dn_skipname should be found in you C library.
Some Linux systems have an unusual resolver setup. You can either use
libc 5.3.12 or install bind 4.9.4. I am using libc 5.3.12 on my laptop
and it works out of the box.
