tcl fails to build on Tiger (version 10.4.11)

[harrylparker@…]

Attempted to upgrade tcl from 8.4.16_0 to 8.5.0_0. This resulted in a bad build ending with:

I got this version of tcl to install after I moved my /usr/local directory aside ("sudo mv /usr/local /usr/local-off").

I still don't know why this interfered, but my /usr/local/bin has over 700 items including tcl, and /usr/local lib has over 250 items.

I believe this ticket can be closed, because its well known that MacPorts "doesn't play well with others".
