[Pkg-electronics-devel] Lintian error in ngspice

[Gudjon I. Gudjonsson]

Hi
   I'm still working on Ngspice but I am hopefully near the end but 
unfortunately it will only qualify for non-free.

However. I have a problem with the 
tcl part of it since I get different behavior when I compile the package with 
dpkg-buildpackage or pdebuild.
pdebuild installs libspice.so and libspice.la into /usr/share/tcltk
but 
dpkg-buildpackage installs it into /usr/lib/tcltk

Now I also get a lintian error that might indicate what the problem really is:
E: tclspice-dev: incorrect-libdir-in-la-file 
usr/lib/tcltk/libspice.la /usr/share/tcltk != /usr/lib/tcltk

Do you know what the problem might be?

I  have tried it under Debian Lenny and unstable but without difference. The 
system has been reinstalled in the meantime so I have not added any strange 
tclConfig file.

The only relevant information I have found is the following in configure.in:
   if test "x$tcl_config_sh" = "x" ; then
      for dir in \
       `ls -dr /usr/local/tcltk/tcl[[7-9]].[[0-9]]* 2>/dev/null` \
       `ls -dr /usr/local/tcl/tcl[[7-9]].[[0-9]]* 2>/dev/null` \
       `ls -dr /usr/local/tcl[[7-9]].[[0-9]]* 2>/dev/null` \
       `ls -dr /usr/share/tcltk/tcl[[7-9]].[[0-9]]* 2>/dev/null` \
       `ls -dr /usr/share/tcl/tcl[[7-9]].[[0-9]]* 2>/dev/null` \
       `ls -dr /usr/share/tcl[[7-9]].[[0-9]]* 2>/dev/null` \
       `ls -dr /usr/lib/tcl/tcl[[7-9]].[[0-9]]* 2>/dev/null` \
       `ls -dr /usr/lib/tcl[[7-9]].[[0-9]]* 2>/dev/null` \
       /usr/local/tcl \
       /usr/local \
       /usr \
       /mingw
      do
        if test -r "$dir/tclConfig.sh" ; then
          echo "Automatic research of tclConfig.sh Found one, accepting it and 
stopping research."
          tcl_config_sh="$dir/tclConfig.sh"
          break
        elif test -r "$dir/lib/tclConfig.sh" ; then
          echo "Automatic research of tclConfig.sh Found one, accepting it and 
stopping research."
          tcl_config_sh="$dir/lib/tclConfig.sh"
          break
        fi
      done
    fi

The whole package is on my server:
deb-src http://195.198.146.229/debian/ source/
deb http://195.198.146.229/debian/ i386/
if you are interested.

Thanks in advance.
