Tried this and got the same error as above.

Tried this and got a new error message:

[localhost:~] buchmann% /usr/local/pgaccess/pgaccess
Error in startup script: couldn't find procedure .dylib_Init    while executing
"load /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpgtcl.so [info sharedlibextension]"    (procedure "main" line 3)    invoked from within
"main $argc $argv"    (file "/usr/local/pgaccess/main.tcl" line 249)

Still looks like some dyn lib stuff.  While going over the process in my 
head, I remembered that Tk wasn't patched, so it probably didn't compile 
with dynamic loading...do you think this could be the problem?
