I've given up trying to install glibc 1.09.1 on Solaris 2.4. As far as
I'm concerned, it can't be done, and I've not discovered anyone else
who has done it, either. If anyone has done it, I would bet they are
using the BSD compatibility product. I don't have time to try that
now.

I did find hypot.o in libm.so, however, so I did finally get Tcl/Tk
7.6/4.2 and 7.5/4.1 built.

For those who might follow these tracks. This is for my path:

#!/usr/bin/csh
# for Solaris (SVR4) compatibility
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
/home/xmas/local/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib":"$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
setenv PATH 
/home/xmas/local/bin:/home/xmas/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/prog/bin:/opt/local/uxb1/bin:/opt/local/common/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:.

and then:

cd tcl7.6
cd unix
./configure --prefix=/home/xmas/local --exec-prefix=/home/xmas/local 
--enable-gcc --enable-shared
make
make install

cd tk4.2
./configure --prefix=/home/xmas/local --exec-prefix=/home/xmas/local 
--enable-gcc
make
make install

cd tcl7.5
cd unix
./configure --prefix=/home/xmas/local --exec-prefix=/home/xmas/local 
--enable-gcc --enable-shared
make
make install

cd tk4.1
cd unix
history
./configure --prefix=/home/xmas/local --exec-prefix=/home/xmas/local 
--enable-gcc
make
make install

Please note: /home/xmas is my home directory. I'm doing this because
Tcl/Tk 7.6/4.2 was installed as production, and I didn't want it
interfering with my install of Swarm.
