The same as before.

Until and including 8.5.3 I do not need the libtclstub* library.
See my first posting.

The link stage is successfull. But I get a segmentation fault in
loading the first extension (vlerq) in the first line of:

DLLEXPORT int Vlerq_Init (Tcl_Interp *interp) {
    if (!MyInitStubs(interp) || Tcl_PkgRequire(interp, "Tcl", "8.4", 0) == 
NULL)
        return TCL_ERROR;

    Tcl_CreateObjCommand(interp, "vlerq", VlerqObjCmd, f_commands, NULL);
    InitShared();
    return Tcl_PkgProvide(interp, "vlerq", PACKAGE_VERSION);
}

MyInitStubs(interp) is #defined to '1'. In the debugger I can locate the 
Tcl_PkgRequire() function but I do not get there.

I have put my current state as 'kbs.tgz at
  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=210690
Just unpack and 'cd kbs'

To build successfull 8.5.3 with debugging run:
  ./kbs.tcl -v -r --enable-symbols -builddir=./b85 install kbskit-8.5
To try 8.6a1 run:
  ./kbs.tcl -v -r --enable-symbols -builddir=./b86 install kbskit-8.6

Results are in the './b*' directories and executables in './b*/bin/' 

To play with the order of the libraries edit the section 'Package kbskit-8.6'
in the file './sources/kbskit-8.5/kbskit.kbs'

To only rebuild kbskit remove './b*/kbskit*' and run the above command without 
the '-r' switch
