There is a typo in the symlink installation - /usr/lib/libtk8.3.a doesn't even exist, while the /usr/lib/libtk.so isn't created breaking some unconventional apps. Check latest tcl ebuild - there things are been done properly. Here is the diff: --- tk-8.3.3.ebuild Sat Jul 13 13:03:23 2002 +++ tk-8.3.3-r1.ebuild Sat Jul 13 13:21:49 2002 @@ -59,7 +59,7 @@ rm -f ${D}/usr/lib/tk${v1}/include/generic/tkPlatDecls.h # install symlink for libraries - dosym /usr/lib/libtk${v1}.a /usr/lib/libtk.a + dosym /usr/lib/libtk${v1}.so /usr/lib/libtk.so dosym /usr/lib/libtkstub${v1}.a /usr/lib/libtkstub.a ln -sf wish${v1} ${D}/usr/bin/wish
