Seems to be working as advertised. Unless you specify --disable-tcl, the configure script defaults to building an sqlite extension for TCL.
The extension can't go in $PREFIX, since tcl wouldn't be able to find it. So your options for a non-root install are: 1) --disable-tcl 2) set the environment variable TCLLIBDIR to somewhere you have write access (presumably you'll also need to configure tcl to look here for extensions) 3) install your own tcl to $PREFIX and make sure its tclsh is the first one in your $PATH -Rowan On 22 December 2017 at 03:41, Michael Tiernan <michael.tier...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sorry for the top post.
