A similar problem and its solution is documented in the porting notes.
That problem is not meant! Due to a unresolved symbol libtnm2.1.6 could
not be loaded while the command shell scotty works fine. The problem
is specific to HP-UX 10, the same code works fine with Linux and SunOS.
I think James R. Schrock
(http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/nm/tkined/marchive-1997/0837.html)
and other had the same problem.

#----------------------------------------------------------------------
couldn't load file "/opt/tcl-7.6/lib/tnm2.1.6.s1": unresolved symbol
name
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems there are symbols bound to scotty the library tnm lacks.
Has anyone figured out the missing symbol(s)? How can I get
the unresolved symbol(s) name. I am using binutils and gcc2.7.2.2
and I am not familiar with HP-UX 10.10 nor gcc!

I can give a few hints. I no longer have access
to HP-UX, so, unless someone wants to offer me a
guest account, I can't now solve this completely.
I'll tell you everything I know, though.
When I worked with HP-UX, I always linked Scotty
dynamically, as an alternative to solving exact-
ly the symptom you report here. This problem
reflects on the HP-UX loader, which I rate brain-
damaged for complaining "unresolved symbol"
without specifying what the symbol is.
What do we do about it, though? First, if you
already have a working statically-linked config-
uration, compare it to the dynamically-linked
one with which you're working, to ensure that
the latter includes all the libraries that are,
in fact, necessary; I suspect that the missing
symbol is something obvious, like dlopen().
My next step would be to work through HP-UX
manuals to find utilities which report on the
link map of executables and shared-objects.
Start with chatr(1).
I hope this will be enough to settle the problem.
Again, I'd be happy to work with an HP-UX customer,
but I have no access to the OS myself now.
