<strong>I have several versions of Tcl
installed. How do I configure Berkeley DB to use a
particular version?</strong>
</span>
<p>
To compile the Tcl interface with a particular
version of Tcl, use the --with-tcl option to specify
the Tcl installation directory that contains the
tclConfig.sh file. See the <a href="../installation/build_unix_flags.html" class="olink">Changing compile or load options</a> section
in the Berkeley DB Installation and Build Guide for more information.

<strong>Berkeley DB was configured using
--enable-tcl or --with-tcl and fails to
build.</strong>
</span>
<p>
The Berkeley DB Tcl interface requires Tcl version
8.5 or greater.

<strong>Berkeley DB was configured using

</span>
<p>
If the Tcl installation was moved after it was
configured and installed, try reconfiguring and
reinstalling Tcl.
</p>
<p>
Also, some systems do not search for shared
libraries by default, or do not search for shared
libraries named the way the Tcl installation names
them, or are searching for a different kind of library
than those in your Tcl installation. For example,
Linux systems often require linking "libtcl.a" to
"libtcl#.#.a", whereas AIX systems often require
adding the "-brtl" flag to the linker. A simpler
solution that almost always works on all systems is to
create a link from "libtcl.#.#.a" or "libtcl.so" (or
whatever you happen to have) to "libtcl.a" and
reconfigure.

<strong>Loading the Berkeley DB library into
Tcl on AIX causes a core dump.</strong>
</span>
<p>
In some versions of Tcl, the "tclConfig.sh"
autoconfiguration script created by the Tcl
installation does not work properly under AIX, and you
may have to modify values in the tclConfig.sh file to
in order to load the Berkeley DB library into Tcl.
Specifically, the TCL_LIB_SPEC variable should contain
sufficient linker flags to find and link against the
installed libtcl library. In some circumstances, the
tclConfig.sh file built by Tcl does not.
