help: nsf/gothic question

[Mandolyte]

After working thru installing TCL/TK 8.6 and tweaking the interpreter.go to point to the right include directory, it gets to the load of the TCL/TK libraries and fails:

$ go get github.com/nsf/gothic

# github.com/nsf/gothic

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltcl8.6

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltk8.6

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

But:

$ ls $LD_LIBRARY_PATH/*8.6.so

/opt/tcl8.6/lib/libtcl8.6.so  /opt/tcl8.6/lib/libtk8.6.so

I expected the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to locate them, but I seem to have something wrong.

What do I need to do? 

Thanks!

LD_LIBRARY_PATH affects the dynamic linker (ld.so), but you are
getting an error from the program linker (ld). Try setting the
environment variable LIBRARY_PATH.

That did it! thanks. So if it is using the .a libs, then the executable will have everything in it... should have guessed that.

thanks for the quick response.
