>Description:
There is problem with PLIST. 

NetBSD package has library names like libtcl84.so, while some other
architectures have dot between 8 and 4.

FreeBSD 4 and 5:

IRIX 5.3:

You might question, what's better: patch tcl/tk configures so they produce 
nodots versions for all libraries - or patch configure for NetBSD so it 
includes the dots. As I have seen, dependent packages use -ltcl84 (eg. name 
without dots), also see here: 
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2004/03/16/0003.html
 -- so I think tcl and tk should use nodots, if problems in dependet
packages will appear, we could patch dependent packages then.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile tcl or tk on mentioned systems.
>Fix:
FreeBSD version included here:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2004/03/30/0024.html

BTW it seems very sad, that this problem persists, Greg Schwartz reported it in 
January.
