Try doing

make distclean

first, as discussed previously in the archives.  Check if you have a
libtcldbg.a in the tcl-debug directory (i.e. tcl-debug was built
correctly), and not elsewhere on your path.

Configure detects the tcl-debug package using Dbg.h, so if you have
some other Dbg.h elsewhere, it may get confused - but since you're
specifying location that shouldn't be a problem.

See similar May 1999 discussion.
