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
