A. We can help you through this. Tcl is generally
    pleasant and robust; problems should be resolved
    quickly.
B. Some of your questions might take a little time
    to answer. We don't know your application.
    "PREFIX" is *not* specific to Tcl, so I can con-
    clude it's something about your application.
    Apparently it's available in your source AIX
    environment, but not in your current configura-
    tion for Linux.

    PREFIX is almost certainly expected as an
    environment variable.
