embedded-tcl.cc contains tcl code as one long string.  Some compilers
(like yours) can't handle strings that are so long.
Work arounds:

- install gcc

- rebuild tcl2c++ with TCL2C_INT defined, then regenerate
embedded-tcl.cc with the new tcl2c++ (by deleting it and typing make
after putting the new tcl2c++ in your path)

You can try this patch to tcl2c++.c out if you want.  If it doesn't
work, please suggest the right #ifdef for HPUX 10.20:
