 Dear Catherine,

 please change in xotclnt.h
 the section defining XOTclMutex
 to the following.
 
#if !defined(PRE83) && defined(TCL_THREADS)
# define XOTclMutex Tcl_Mutex 
# define XOTclMutexLock(a) Tcl_MutexLock(a)
# define XOTclMutexUnlock(a) Tcl_MutexUnlock(a)
#else
# define XOTclMutex int
# define XOTclMutexLock(a)   (*(a))++
# define XOTclMutexUnlock(a) (*(a))--
#endif

 this should help.

PS: how comes that debian still uses Tcl 8.2?
