>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.
