Starting with Aolserver 4.* xotcl can be loaded via package require. However, it is recommended to install the binaries under the aolserver directory. The recommended configuration is: ./configure --enable-threads --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver Then, you can do a make make install We provide a small .tcl-file for providing xotcl as a module (available in all connection threads) and easing the load of .xotcl files (to be loaded after the xotcl extension). The support file can be installed via: make install-aol Zoran, Gustaf
