Re: [Xotcl] "Cannot locate library"

I'm using XOTcl under both Tcl 8.4.2 and AOLServer. Here's my Tcl 8.4.2
setup.

$auto_path is {d:/appsdev/tcl/lib/tcl8.4 d:/appsdev/tcl/lib} both before
and after

        package require XOTcl 1

xotcl is installed under d:/appsdev/tcl/lib/xotcl-1.0.2.

In that dir is a pkgIndex.tcl file with the following:

        package ifneeded XOTcl 1.0 [list load [file join $dir
win/Release/xotcl1.0.dll] XOTcl]

xotcl1.0.dll is under d:/appsdev/tcl/lib/xotcl-1.0.2/win/Release.

I've also tried placing the dll in the bin directory and adjusting the
pkgIndex.tcl file accordingly, but it had the same result.

As I said, the dll does in fact load, and I can use XOTcl (and all of its
libraries and samples). The problem is just the message.
