The 24Berkeley DB configuration assumes that you intend to use the 25version of the tclsh utility included in the Tcl installation with which 26Berkeley DB was configured to run the test suite, and further 27assumes that the test suite will be run with the libraries prebuilt in 28the Berkeley DB build directory. If either of these assumptions 29are incorrect, you will need to edit the <b>include.tcl</b> file and 30change the following line to correctly specify the full path to the 31version of tclsh with which you are going to run the test suite:</p> 32<blockquote><pre>set tclsh_path ...</pre></blockquote> 33<p>You may also need to change the following line to correctly specify the 34path from the directory where you are running the test suite to the 35location of the Berkeley DB Tcl library you built:</p> 36<blockquote><pre>set test_path ...</pre></blockquote> 37<p>It may not be necessary that this be a full path if you have configured 38your system's shared library mechanisms to search the directory where 39you built or installed the Tcl library.</p> 40<p>All Berkeley DB tests are run from within <b>tclsh</b>. After 41starting tclsh, you must source the file <b>test.tcl</b> in the test 42directory.
