[GPS]: Fri Oct 19 2001 -- There are some peculiar things that occur in OpenBSD when building Tcl/Tk extensions.  

For some reason when building Tcl using configure without any options it builds libraries with names like this:
libtcl83.so.1.0
libtcl83.a

Most extensions seem to think that the name should be libtcl8.3, so I constantly have to change the -l usage in the Makefile, or use a symbolic link (which I think is messy).  This may be related to /bin/sh being pdksh instead of bash like in Linux, or something with sed.  I don't know enough about the Tcl/Autoconf build system to tell.  There is also a recent version (8.3) of Tcl in the 2.9 ports tree, but I'm still using 2.6, so I can't comment much on it.    

Has anybody else run into this problem, and how did you solve it?
