OK I can confirm the "problems building scotty" ;-)
I just built Tcl & Tk from the sources (without --enable-shared) (this is
an Ultra / Solaris 2.5) but trying to make scotty, I got lots of warnings:
ucbcc: Warning: Option -KPIC passed to ld
and then ld complains:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld -G -z text tkiEditor.o tkiObjects.o tkiMethods.o tkiMisc.o tkiFl
ash.o tkiStripchart.o tkiBarchart.o tkiUtil.o tkiInit.oit tkiUnixInit.o -o
tkined.
so -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -lrpcsvc -lresolv
Text relocation remains referenced
against symbol offset in file
Tki_EditorAttribute 0x3914 tkiMethods.o
Tki_EditorAttribute 0x3744 tkiMethods.o
----8<--- lots more ----8<----
ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable
sections
make: *** [tkined.so] Error 1
What does this mean?!
OTOH if I try to build Tcl with --enable-shared then it fails with ld
complaining:

Ages ago I built Tcl/Tk and scotty tkined on a SPARCstation1 with SunOS
4.1.3 and it worked .... I thought with the passage of time things would
have got easier <sigh!>
One thing occurs to me: there are a couple of apps (CiscoWorks for
switched networks Traffic Director, and Accelar Device Manager) which have
thier own Tcl/Tk installations. I don't think these have installed
themselves as general system-wide apps, just local to the apps their part
of, but I don't know if they could be fouling up my Tcl/Tk/Scotty
installation attempt.
any help appreciated!
