anonymous added on 2021-01-27 08:17:35: The TCL_PACKAGE_PATH variable is set to {/usr/lib} with braces. $ 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' As this is not valid brace expansion (comma is required), that results in creating a directory called `{` and installing the files under it, instead of /usr/lib. anonymous added on 2022-03-12 18:13:54: 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. bohagan added on 2024-06-29 01:51:34: This issue is obsolete. TCL has been updated to correct the root cause and the make scripts have been changed to be TEA compliant with sane default options.
