My question was:

|=> A colleague is trying to complile PGPLOT with Tcl/Tk Support, but
|=> we're running into problems all the time when the loader wants to
|=> include a libdl.{a,so} since there is no such lib on all our
|=> systems, neither with gcc/g77 nor with Decs native compilers.
|=>
|=>
|=> Can anyone hint me towards a place where I may find that library ?
|=>
|=> still no luck with getting pgplot to compile with a Tcl/Tk
|=> driver... it appears to need the libdl.{a,so} libraries
|=> for it to work... i tried looking at the pgplot web site at
|=> caltech (which had an incredibly slow data rate -
|=> 10-20 bytes/sec.) but it didn't appear
|=> to have any clues on this particular error...
|=> could you please look into this problem and whether
|=> the libdl.a library exists for DEC Alphas OSF1 operating
|=> system? without this tcl/tk driver i simply can't reduce
|=> a spectroscopy data set that i have (i.e., it is needed)...
|=> thanks for any help you can provide...
|=>

Thanks to Achim Bohnet, Reginald Beardsley, BOLSON_at_FRANGO.HS.WASHINGTON.EDU
who confirmed my suspicion.

The consensus is, as I somehow expected, that the dynamic libs are already
there, hidden in other files.

We tried before asking to remove the references to libdl.{a,so} in the
makefiles, without any luck until now. Probably we've overlooked some of'em.
We'll try again.

I tried it recently without any luck, too, but you may get our copy from
