I didn't bisect to find if the release 8.6.12 is the only one in concern but
will just provide 8.6.15 as in this case, without options I get:
TCL_PACKAGE_PATH='/usr/local/lib'
and with options set in the Slackware's build script:
TCL_PACKAGE_PATH='/usr/lib64:/usr/lib'

I don't know

Anyway I will upgrade tcl to  8.6.15 for Slint (and tk to make good measure).

I do not need to rebuild brltty (currentl version 6.7)  after that, right?
