OK. I discovered that scotty was attempting to open an was opening
$(prefix)/lib/tcl/init.tcl even though that isn't where Tcl8.0 is
on my system (Hmm.. The configure script found Tcl8.0, so I'm not sure
what why scotty would be looking at an older version of Tcl.) Be that
as it may I've fixed it so that $(prefix)/lib/tcl points to where
Tcl8.0 is. Now I appear to have a more common problem from what
I've read:

{raven:root:51} make install
Installing scotty2.1.8 and tnm2.1.8.so
Installing ./../tnm/library/README
Installing ./../tnm/library/dialog.tcl
Installing ./../tnm/library/output.tcl
Installing ./../tnm/library/snmp.tcl
Installing ./../tnm/library/monitor.tcl
Installing ./../tnm/library/obsolete.tcl
Installing ./../tnm/library/init.tcl
initialization failed: couldn't load file
"/opt/solaris/lib/tnm2.1.8.so": ld.so.1: ./scotty: fatal: relocation
error: symbol not found: Tcl_SetVar2: referenced in
/opt/solaris/lib/tnm2.1.8.so
make: *** [tnm-install-library] Error 1

I tried the suggestion that was made to give the option
--enable-shared to `./configure`. This made no difference.
I tried `truss make install` and it provided no more info than
the error message that was generated above. So I guess I'm out of
luck???
