 ok. as far as i remember, there is no need to use the aolserver lib,
 since the external symbols are resolved against the running binary.
 i have changed this to --with-aolserver3=AOL_SERVER_DIR

 the suggestion to remove the line was a temporary fix to keep you
 going and certainly not a permanent fix

 we have the same opinion about the goals, no need to argue.

 you have certainy a complex setup, which is not the setup 
 of an average user. i have currently on my system 2 tcl 
 versions installed and a aolserver4, and i have not seen 
 the problems you reported, otherwise i would have fixed it. 
 One can only fix problems that you are aware off. your 
 comments are very helpful raise this awarensss and 
 to improve the system
