If you find bugs in Xapian, please report them so we can actually fix
them! I stumbled across this page completely by accident. I've just fixed
the first issue (down to m4 quoting). The second "fix" isn't correct for
all platforms - for my Tcl installation (Ubuntu Hardy) - I get
TCL_LIB=/usr/lib, and I don't want the Tcl bindings to go in
/usr/xapian1.0.6! Suggestions for a better way to determine where to
install are welcome. - OllyBetts

Sorry about not doing a bug report - one-track mind going somewhere else
at the time :-(

This time, answer both there and here:

TCL_LIB=/usr/lib + tcllibdir = @TCL_LIB@/../xapian at VERSION@ gives you
/usr/xapian1.0.6, which is why I changed it, ending up with
/usr/lib/xapian1.0.6 . Most Tcl extensions use that, though some use
/usr/lib/tcl8.x/whatever. Apparently the right approach for determining
where to install is to find and use tclConfig.sh which is part of the Tcl
installation.
