aolserver 4 is now running. when i originally installed tcl, i didn't configure it with threads enabled. aolserver complained about that fact so i went back and configured it with threads. but even with threads enabled i got the error message i posted above (but no complaints about threads enabled). after posting to the bulltein board, i went back to start the process over again, this time starting with make distclean. i didn't do a make distclean previously and is the only thing i changed this time, and it worked.
now i can't start aolserver on port 80. i am starting it as root.
