damn i hate closing the wrong browser tab - ok here is a summarised version of the post i just obliterated...
* aolserver uses it's own tcl8 libraries, so the installed libraries are irrelevant in most cases. I just compiled & ran aolserver 3.3 on redhat 9 with no problems.
* package require-ing in aolserver is non-trivial for aolserver versions less than 4.0 (which is still in beta, and not fully supported by OpenACS). Some of the implications and work-arounds can be found in these threads:

* alternatively, think about other soap options. William Byrne has written a SOAP package for OpenACS, see this thread:
