Yeah, one thing I notice right off the bat is that your tcl/tk distribution
was probably built with gcc (the -fPIC flag tips me off to this) and you
are building scotty/tnm with cc. It's generally not a good idea to do this
because of the symbol differences. You'll run into lots of linking errors
dealing with how many underscores are present in symbol names. Pick one
compiler and stick with it and you'll be much better off. (I use the Sun
Sparcworks compiler for this and it works fine)
