This is the output on the machine where tha database that I *cannot* connect
to (if the encoding is SQL_ASCII, no problem if UNICODE)
--with-tcl --bindir /usr/bin/ --with-tclconfig=/opt/tcltk/lib --without-tk


This is the output on the machine (debian woody) where libpgtcl is:

--with-template=linux --prefix=/usr/lib/postgresql  --enable-unicode-conversion  --with-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.3
--includedir=/usr/include/postgresql --with-python --with-openssl --with-gnu-ld --disable-rpath --enable-odbc
--with-unixodbc--with-CXX --enable-recode --with-tcl --with-perl  --with-pam --enable-multibyte --enable-debug
--enable-syslog --enable-locale --with-tclconfig=/usr/lib/tcl8.3  --with-tkconfig=/usr/lib/tk8.3 --with-maxbackends=64
--with-pgport=5432

Should...  here is what happens:

[sandro@bluff] sandro $ export PGCLIENTENCODING=SQL_ASCII
[sandro@bluff] sandro $ tclsh
% load libpgtcl.so
% set p [pg_connect -conninfo "host=my_host dbname=danze \ user=sandro password=xxx"]

Connection to database failed
ERROR:  Conversion between UNICODE and SQL_ASCII is not supported
