Dear TCL team,
I have build and installed TCL 9.0.0 using the nmake with 32 bit MS-VS
2015 to folder c:\test\tcl9.0.0\tcl900

The lib folder containes the bundled packages, like:
c:\test\tcl9.0.0\tcl900\lib\tdbc

% package require TDBC
1.1.9
% package files tdbc
C:/test/tcl9.0.0/tcl900/lib/tdbc1.1.9/pkgIndex.tcl
C:/test/tcl9.0.0/tcl900/lib/tdbc1.1.9/tdbc.tcl

Then, I have installed TCLLIB 2.0 to its lib folder:
c:\test\tcl9.0.0\tcl900\lib

(remark that the installer has proposed to embed it into the zip. I have
changed this).

For example, the package log is in folder
c:\test\tcl9.0.0\tcl900\lib\log

But:
% package require log
-> no such package
% set auto_path
//zipfs:/lib/tcl/tcl_library //zipfs:/lib/tcl
C:/test/tcl9.0.0/tcl900/lib //zipfs:/lib/tk/tk_library
//zipfs:/lib/tk/tk_library/ttk
-> the lib folder is not in the auto path
% lappend auto_path {C:\test\tcl9.0.0\tcl900\lib}
% package require log
1.5

How is tdbc loaded, if not in the auto path?

Is it good practice to add the external lib folder to the auto path?

Thank you all,
Harald

Harald,

Not sure why it does not find log but from your output,
c:/test/tcl9.0.0/tcl900/lib is in fact already in the path (albeit with
forward slashes)

The external lib folder is present in auto_path in all the Tcl 9
installations I checked

Ashok,
thanks a lot, I found it. It is "lib".
But "pwd" gives the current folder, which is "C:/test/tcl9.0.0".
So, it searches in C:/test/tcl9.0.0/lib (which does not exist).
It is in "C:/test/tcl9.0.0/tcl900/lib" ("tcl900" subfolder)

I think, it is a bad idea to have a relative component in the auto path.
It is IMHO also a security hole.

Thank you for all,
Harald

Ashok,
the issue is my fault !!!
I have two copies of tcl9 and I picked the wrong one...
Sorry,
Harald
