I recently upgraded from Tcl/Tk 8.3 to 8.4. Then I tried to emerge findlib 0.8. It looks like it's specifically looking for "libtk8.3.so. I have "libtk8.4.so", but not 8.3. I'm guessing the two can co-exist; in any case, that's what I'm going to try next. Meanwhile, I think either the ebuild should have a dependency on that library or the upstream folks should figure out if it will work with 8.4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to Tcl/Tk 8.4 2. Emerge findlib 0.8 3.

The problems is most likely that you didn't recompile ocaml after upgrading tcl/tk. It is ocaml that has direct support for it, and which links some objects to the tk library. So, try reemerging ocaml and then findlib.
Ayup ... that worked -- Re-emerge Tcl / Tk 8.4, re-emerge ocaml, re-emerge findlib. However (pregnant pause) after I did that, a lightbulb went off and I ran "revdep-rebuild -p" and the resulting list of things that want the 8.3 libraries is way to long to list here. I recall some ebuild told me I had to do that once -- shouldn't Tcl/Tk tell me that?
Tcl/tk should probably say that, closing the bug.
