[Magic-dev] lib64 bug

[Jeff Sondeen]

i forget all the details, but there's a kindof bug in the tcl install
on redhat 64 bit machines, you have to work around it by editting a
magic startup file, to get the 64bit libs looked at first, below is
what i added, you may have to edit for yours.

edit for lib/magic/tcl/tkcon.tcl:

#jws: 

#set auto_path [linsert $auto_path 0 /usr/lib64 ]
#set auto_path

puts stderr "old auto_path: $auto_path"
set auto_path [lreplace $auto_path 2 2]
set auto_path [linsert $auto_path end /usr/lib64/blt2.4 ]
puts stderr "new auto_path: $auto_path"
