Hi

I think its complaining about libtcl8.5.so rather than the tclespeak.so 
file which you show you have.   You should check under /usr/lib to see 
what libtcl files you have.  Is it possible that you've upgraded to 
TCL8.6 on your system?  This happened to me a few weeks ago, I simply 
changed the tcl version in the makefile for the server and recompiled it.
