I have installed a GUI for some of my modeling programs
(http://www.quimica.urv.cat/~pujadas/BDT) on my Debian Stretch platform.
While there were no warning or error messages during the installation when I
attempt execution I get the following:
comp@AbNormal:~/Apps/BDT$ ./bdt
/usr/local/gromacs/lib:/opt/mopac
./bdt.exec: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so.0: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
comp@AbNormal:~/Apps/BDT$
The supposedly missing file is in /home/comp/Apps/BDT/tools/tcl-tk8.4/lib.
How do I go about solving this problem?
I'll bet that bdt is a shell script and it does some trickery with
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Can you post the contents of bdt (assuming it
is a shell script and not too long)? Further, I suspect that bdt.exec is
the actual binary. If that is the case, can you post the output of
`ldd ./bdt.exec`?
Since tcl8.4 was last available in jessie [0], you most likely have an
incomplete application distribution. Or it depends on you installing
tcl8.4 from system packages and you will need to grab a jessie package
and install it on your system, or possibly rebuild it (in case the
dependencies don't work out exactly correct).

Thanks for your reply. The file is:
#!/bin/sh
BDT=$PWD
export BDT
TOOLS=$BDT/tools
PATH=$BDT:$TOOLS:$PATH
if [ `whereis wish | wc -w` -eq 1 ]
then
echo "You do not have TCL-TK installed"
echo "The BDT-installation of TCL-TK will be used"
TCLTK=$TOOLS/tcl-tk8.4
PATH=$TCLTK:$PATH
# FOR general UNIX
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TCLTK:$TCLTK/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# FOR tcl-tk libraries
TCL_LIBRARY=$TCLTK/lib/tcl8.4
TK_LIBRARY=$TCLTK/lib/tk8.4
export TCL_LIBRARY TK_LIBRARY
fi
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
#./bdt.tcl
./bdt.exec
It appears that my supposition was correct. You will need to find a way
to obtain, build, or install tcl8.4 for your system. Aside from the
possibilities I mentioned in my initial reply, you could set up a jessie
chroot, which would have tcl8.4 available as a standard package, and run
your application from within that.
