It is called libpgtcl and the source is located +in the PostgreSQL directory /src/interfaces/libpgtcl. Specifically, you +will need a libpgtcl library that is 'load'-able from Tcl/Tk. This is technically +different from an ordinary PostgreSQL loadable object file, because libpgtcl +is a collection of object files. Under Linux, this is called libpgtcl.so. +<BR> +You can download <A HREF="libpgtcl.so">from here </A>a version already +compiled for Linux i386 systems. Just copy libpgtcl.so into your system +library director (/usr/lib) and go for it.
