Description:	In the file unix/configure, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is the value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR on macOS. DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH is a less intrusive option and is the one we chose for the MacPorts projects (see the ticket below). See https://github.com/tcltk/tk/blob/5e7bcea28317ca7b25fe5cad6c4878ae6d048148/unix/configure#L5493 See also https://trac.macports.org/ticket/57594
User Comments:	dgp added on 2025-05-20 18:42:18: This looks like a false alarm. dgp added on 2025-05-13 17:38:24: After several rounds of builds, installs and tests of several stages of Tcl 8.6.* development, I can no longer reproduce that failure with that checkin. I am still seeing multiple segfaults in test suite runs at various stages of Tcl 8.6 builds. Continuing to examine.... dgp added on 2025-05-13 16:55:36: Starting with this change, the Tcl build from the tcl/unix directory on a Sonoma 14.7.5 system suffers multiple segfaults in the test suite. The first one is in test apply-10.1. $ fossil status ... checkout: 19fb0fc0b03902b28cfb2dd38c61357dd5b728da 2023-01-06 16:56:14 UTC ... $ cd tcl/unix $ ./configure ... $ make test TESTFLAGS="-file apply.test -match apply-10.1 -verbose bpste" ... apply.test ---- apply-10.1 start Test file error: child killed: segmentation violation ... jan.nijtmans added on 2023-01-16 22:54:38: Fixed [19fb0fc0b03902b2\|here] Thanks for the report!
