Please correct the problem by telling configure where tcl is
using the argument --with-tcl=/path/to/package
(perhaps after installing it),
or the package is not required, disable it with --with-tcl=no.

Also, it doesn't like to be compiled on amd64 at all.

stan, got another hot one for you

Created attachment 35603 [details]
otcl-1.8-r2.ebuild

this helps with the first part

compiles nicely.

I've got the same problem with tclcl, and using the --with-tcl-ver --with-tk-ver
fix it starts to compile. Just another little issue there with a misplaced sed.

This appears to be a duplicate bug report. I've also come around this and while searching in bugs.gentoo.org found 53551 and this one (57294) which both seem to refer to the same problem.

Robin, I'd rather defer to you

Dow!!! Wrong bug.  Disregard post #9
Thanks
