Re: Redhat 5.0 libtclobjc problems: here are the error messages

[Doug Donalson;]

Note:  I have the exact problem with BLT.  The app make refuses
to look anywhere but /usr/lib for BLT, even when all paths point
elsewhere.  I even tried adding an environment variable to point
the correct folder.  What gives?  

Cheers,

   Doug
