View source for Tcl library path

'''Q: When trying to build, I get the error message: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltcl". How do I correct that problem?'''

First, verify that you have tcl and tcl dev installed on your system. Have them installed if they are not.

The "Makefile" provided by Verific has "-ltcl" option. The linker will look for the file /usr/lib/libtcl.so (for 32-bit build) or /usr/lib64/libtcl.so (for 64-bit build).

You can either:

1. In /usr/lib (or in /usr/lib64 for 64-bit build), make soft link libtcl.so pointing to your_lib_tcl.so and (for static build) libtcl.a to your_lib_tcl_.a. For example:

  [lib64]$ pwd
  /usr/lib64
  [lib64]$ ls -l *tcl*
  -rw-r----- 1 root root 2107226 Nov 29  2016 libtcl8.5.a
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1194938 Nov 29  2016 libtcl8.5.so
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      11 Nov 29  2016 libtcl.a -> libtcl8.5.a
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      12 Nov 29  2016 libtcl.so -> libtcl8.5.so
  [lib64]$

or:

2. In the Makefile, replace "-ltcl" with "-L /path/to/your/tcl/library.so".
