   1. foundin initialized to: "1.7.22"
   2. icomment:

      The TCL_PACKAGE_PATH variable is set to {/usr/lib} <em>with braces</em>.
      
      <pre>
        $ sudo make install
        ...
        /usr/bin/install -c -d '{/usr/lib}/tcltls1.7.22'
        /usr/bin/install -c tcltls.so '{/usr/lib}/tcltls1.7.22'
        /usr/bin/install -c -m 644    pkgIndex.tcl '{/usr/lib}/tcltls1.7.22'
      </pre>
      
      As this is not valid brace expansion (comma is required), that results in creating a directory called <code>{</code> and installing the files under it, instead of /usr/lib.

   1. icomment:

      This is actually a bug in the Tcl configure script. Starting in Tcl 8.6.11, the lines:
      
          if test "$prefix/lib" != "$libdir"; then
              TCL_PACKAGE_PATH="${libdir} ${prefix}/lib"
          else
              TCL_PACKAGE_PATH="${prefix}/lib"
          fi
       
      were changed to:
      
          if test "$prefix/lib" != "$libdir"; then
              TCL_PACKAGE_PATH="{${libdir}} {${prefix}/lib}"
          else
              TCL_PACKAGE_PATH="{${prefix}/lib}"
          fi
      
      The extra braces propagate into the tclConfig.sh file, which then breaks the makefile.
