Reply I caught this about 30 minutes later.  I am not sure why 'most' of the
source code distributions out there explicitly add -lc as well.  Anyone have
a historical perspective on this.  I suppose there are apps out there that
don't use libc, they either write their own or don't need it.  In these
cases it would be nice to not have to link against libc.  In either case for
compatibility reasons explicitly adding -lc should not cause a fatal error
(IMHO).

The makefile was generated via a configure script from the standard tcl8.0.5
source distribution.

Thanks for the reply,

Michael

Get rid of the -lc and try again.

I wonder why so many folks insist on explicitly adding -lc???
