After building latest tcl/tk 8.6.14, I also freshened up a few extra
libraries, in particular tcltls-1.7.22

It seemed to compile well, but the last few lines of build-log show:

....
objcopy --discard-all shared-tcltls.so
mv shared-tcltls.so tcltls.so
/usr/bin/install -c -d '{/usr/local/lib}/tcltls1.7.22'
/usr/bin/install -c tcltls.so '{/usr/local/lib}/tcltls1.7.22'
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 pkgIndex.tcl '{/usr/local/lib}/tcltls1.7.22'

Yes, there are some strange extra curlies, and - indeed - it didn't
install into /usr/local/..., but instead into a local directory "{".

Is it just me...? (I'll go deeper into analysis, if this isn't an
already known issue.)

Last time I built tcltls was version 1.7.21 on Solaris, and I didn't
have these extra curlies back then.

Well, I did look further into it, and the culprit is not tcltls.

In /usr/local/lib/tclConfig.sh from fresh tcl-8.6.14 install
it says literally: TCL_PACKAGE_PATH='{/usr/local/lib} '

All other tclConfig.sh on my system all still have the whitespace,
but no curlies in that line.

My last tcl build on that machine is a bit aged, so I cannot yet
tell, how "fresh" the regression is - if it isn't caused by some
other oddity on my system, anyway.

And one more followup...

It seems to be a regression inside tcl-8.6 that happened somewhere
between 8.6.10 (correct) and 8.6.14 (wrong)

in 8.6.10 the unix/configure.in had this line 871:
test -z "$TCL_PACKAGE_PATH" && TCL_PACKAGE_PATH="${prefix}/lib ${TCL_PACKAGE_PATH}"

in 8.6.14, that line (now 873) has changed to:
test -z "$TCL_PACKAGE_PATH" && TCL_PACKAGE_PATH="{${prefix}/lib} ${TCL_PACKAGE_PATH}"

Note: There is a similar line shortly above, with a similar change
and two now-braced items, which may affect other unix-platforms.

Either, there was a wrong assumption about what language code
would actually use that tclConfig.sh entry,
or tcltls is wrong by using it at all. I don't know.

Hi Andreas,
thank you a lot. The ticket caused some action.

It is apparently a TCLTLS bug, not a TCL bug.
So, a ticket there might be appropriate...

Take care,
Harald
