Help finding libtcl.so.0
 

Where is libtcl.so.0 ?

find / -name libtcl.so.0

or

locate libtcl.so.0

In most cases though, lib files will be located in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib

sorry about that i was wondering where i could find the RPM online

libtcl.so.0
 

When installing one particular software package on Linux Redhat 9.x (I don't exactly remember whether it is now .0 or .1), I obtained an error saying that I did not have libtcl.so.0 on my system.

After I had gone over a re-install of some tcl related libraries (there are RPM websites that have all kinds of different tcl libraries for Redhat 7,8 or also 9), I still found my problem unsolved.

Particularly, I could run 'locate libtcl.so.0' on my system, but there was no file of that name. So I figured that that particular software was built, referring to a library file, that, on the computer where the software had been built, was named libtcl.so.0. I figured that the Redhat system would name a forced install like that, once the 'normal' name, libtcl.so, was already used. And I also figured that then, there must be more people with errors that just can't find a certain file as software builds refer to one out of many similar library files.

So I went to see where my libtcl.so was, and I duplicated it, and named it libtcl.so.0. I can't just tell you know exactly in which directory it was, but I found it using the locate command. I also would try the same for any error involving a 'libXXX.so.1', '.2', etc. '-file not found'.

And then, the software package started just fine :-)

Hi,

It's strange, but I'm having the same problem on RHL 8.0.
I have in /usr/lib the files :
libtcl8.3.so
libtclstub8.3.a
And then this link : libtcl.so -> libtcl8.3.so

I have installed tcl-8.3.5-88.rpm and nothing changes

I have tried to add the link libtcl.so.0 -> libtcl8.3.so but it doesn't change anything the initial package install fails (compat-db-3-3.11-2.i386.rpm)

Thanks for help,

Benoit

I have the same problem on Red Hat 9.0

I could find manually the files libtcl.so.0 and libtk.so.0 (/usr/lib) but when I search them with the redhat file finder it doesn't find them.

Moreover I want to install an rpm (sketch) but it doesn't work. It returns that libtcl.so.0 and libtk.so.0 are needed....

I've been searching for 5 hours now and I can't find what's wrong. I hope some of you have experience with this problem...

THanks in advance,

aSeedb

finally I installed sketch without checking dependencies and it seems to work...
