The dataManager.thread.* files are generated by a Paradyn utility called igen. If igen fails to build or install correctly the Paradyn build will fail with the above errors. The most common cause of igen failing to build is from not running 'make ready' before running 'make install'.

This odd error message comes from Paradyn being unable to find the flex library. Edit the make.config file and set the FLEX_LIB variable to point to the directory containing libfl.a.

Paradyn works with Tcl/Tk 8.4 or 8.3, however this must be setup correctly in make.config.local before Paradyn is built. Edit make.config.local and set USE_TCL83 to true.
