Re: [Xotcl] "Cannot locate library"

I don't know if this helps, but my approach was to add the following in
xotcl-1.0.2/pkgIndex.tcl:

set _dir_ $dir
foreach {subdir} {
    library/actiweb
    library/comm
    library/lib
    library/patterns
    library/rdf
    library/registry
    library/serialize
    library/store
    library/xml
} {
  set dir [file join $_dir_ $subdir ]
  source [file join $dir pkgIndex.tcl]
}
set dir $_dir_
unset _dir_

This isn't as elegant as it could be--for example, the list of subdirs
could obviously be dynamically generated--but it does use the existing
package loading mechanism (including the default pkgIndex.tcl files in the
subdirs).
