<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>tk83.lib in fact already exists in my path C:\Tcl\lib so I
am not sure what this one refers to. Anyway the fix seems to be to go to the properties
for vtkHybrid.TCL and vtkParallelTCL and just delete it from the additional
dependencies section for the linker input. Make sure that you do this for all configurations.
It is actually there as: C:\Tcl\lib\tcl83.lib in the list, so CMake is putting
in the correct one. Perhaps one of the CMake files needs to be modified to prevent
the other one being loaded.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Once the tcl83.lib error is corrected everything builds OK. Some
image tests fail because tk83.dll is not in the path. But if I exit and run
those scripts outside the IDE, everything seems OK.</span></font></p>
