any ideas on what causes this?  any way around it?

If you already have TCL installed in /usr/local/lib, then you will overwrite your current TCL installation, just a warning, I don't have Fedora.

I tried with the old debian tcl 8.4.0 binary package,
then I (IIRC) tried compiling it manually with threads, and that didn't work,

eventually I followed the openacs docs to the letter and configured,built and installed tcl 8.4.5 (using the link there) under the rather non-standard location described in the docs (under aolserver i believe).

it does work, once you find the magic combination.  dont deviate from the docs and you might have more luck.

I'm trying to install AOLserver 4.0.9/10 (have tried both) with a thread-enabled tcl (8.4.15).

The error message I get is:
pthread.o(.text+0x0): In function `_init':
: multiple definition of `_init'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../crti.o(.init+0x0):/usr/src/build/237294-i386/BUILD/glibc-2.3.2-200304020432/build-i386-linux/csu/crti.S:12: first defined here

while compiling nsthread.

I did ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver40r9 --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/. I've confirmed that tclConfig.sh is in /usr/local/lib, and that tclsh shows that threads are enabled.

Any ideas?

I compiled and installed tcl. It didn't work.
I used the default tcl in Fedora Core 7 (thread enabled). It didn't work too.

Anybody have any idea?

i´m installing aolserver4.5.0, postgresql-7.4.19.tar.gz & tcl8.4.18-src.tar.gz

The aolserver gives me the same problem (see below) and the solution proposed at the end works fine.

Does anyone has faced similar problem?
Any ideas what could I do about it?

This is a known issue for aolserver 4.5 with a resonably recent Tcl.
You need to patch a bit. I use something like this on Debian:
