Sure is, all due to C++ runtime libs not being compatible everywhere :(

As Arjen said,  remove the -Wl,-Bstatic to make gcc/g++ find the .so  
- the effect will be that the resulting tclkit depends on the runtime  
presence of the C++ libs.  It's a trade-off.

PS.  I will provide a C++-less solution for tclkits/starkits before  
2005 ends.  At least able to run and read starkits - but the goal is  
to ultimately also support r/w mode as needed to create and alter  
starkits.  Once that happens, C++ will be off our plate for good.
