more to the point, why
is the -setup script of
test tcltest-9.1 not taking
care of the issue?

Hi, 
 
  local directory is the default for "-testdir" 
 
man tcltest 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  
 
 testsDirectory ?directory? 
              Same as [configure -testdir ?directory?]. 
 
 
 -testdir directory 
              Sets the directory searched by [runAllTests] 
for test files and subdirectories.  Default value is 
[workingDirectory]. 
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 
 
this only works if localdirectory is testdirectory

Hi, 
 
this should help :) 
 
  1. testsDirectory=.../build_shared 
  2. build_shared has no all.tcl

this patch has many changes
relevant to many Categories.
For example, proposed changes
to "socket.test" should be
filed under "27. Channel Types"
so the [socket] maintainer can
review them. Etc.

Looking just at the changes to
the tcltest.test, this is really a
symptom of poor use of the
test suite.  The all.tcl file takes
care of initializing [configure -testdir]
to the correct value.  This should work:

make test TESTFLAGS="-file tcltest.test"

or alternatively

tclsh ../path/to/all.tcl -file tcltest.test

direct evaluation of the *.test files is
not the recommended procedure.

That said, I find that in fact,

./tcltest ../tests/tcltest.test

Works For Me
