Yup, the problem that I was having was actually two-fold. The first was
that I assumed that the env(TCLLIBPATH) variable was set through jacl
(which as stated below, it isn't). I fixed that by manually setting the
auto_path variable in the interp object. The second was also mentioned
below where I was trying to load a dll. Guess I'll just have to figure
another way to solve the problem.
Thanks for your help!
