I'm getting an error message using Tcl/Tk:

Application initialization failed
Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
/share/tcl8.4  /usr/local/share/tcl8.4  /library /usr/local/library

NB there is no directory /share/ and no directory /library/ in Cygwin, 
though there are directories /usr/share/ and /usr/lib/ (ie /lib/)

In fact init.tcl is in /usr/share/tcl8.4.

This problem was last referred to this year at

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/insight/2007-q1/msg00027.html

and the poster hypothesised that "Probably the correct values for 
--sharedir, --prefix, or whatever are not being sent to the tcl builds".

I thought I might cope by copying init.tcl to one of the searched 
directories, but simply found myself moving further along the error 
trajectory, this time to a "invalid command name tcl_findLibrary" failure.

Is the conjecture that there's something adrift with --sharedir or 
--prefix in the tcl builds a correct one (or a likely one) and is this 
something that could be addressed?

Thank you.

Fergus
