I'm trying to install the tclxml-3.2 package. I used the configure --
prefix, then "make install" as its documentation says.
When I got the first Error 1 message "make: *** [tclxml.o] Error 1", I
thought it might be related to some missing packages I haven't
installed yet which the documentation recommended. These are the
libxml2 and the libiconv.
When I started installing the libxml2 package, I got again the Error 1
message. That's when I posted my first lines in this thread. And,
adding the --prefix to the configure as you recommended solved it,
followed by make and make install.
When I went for the libiconv package, and followed the same steps,
configure and make worked fine. But "make install" got me the Error 1
message followed by Error 2 message. Here are the last couple of lines
of the error message:

ld: fatal: recording name conflict: file 'path_I_put_in_the_prefix/lib/
libiconv.so' and file '/usr/local/lib/libiconv.so' provide identical
dependency names: libiconv.so.2 (possible multiple inclusion of the
same file)
ld: fatal: file processing errors. No output written to iconv.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory 'path_I_ran_configure_from/src'
make: *** [install] Error 2

I think this might be related with what phil has advised regarding the
tclsh path. But, when I opened the Makefile, I found too many paths to
change. If it has anything to do with paths, I think there might be
one or two critical ones that I need to change, right? But, I don't
know which variables I should change. I tried to look for the
TCLMAKEVAR, but couldn't find it.

Also, when I installed the first package libxml2, I noticed it's not
like regular tcl packages which usually have packages stored in files
ending with ".tcl". So, I even don't know when I successfully install
them which path I should add to the auto_path variable.

Thanks!
