typical TCL "package" horror

# I know  finally the "autopath" is the WRONG name
lappend autopath /some/path/to/package/dir

package require FileLib

 >>
can't find package FileLib 

     while executing
"package require FileLib"

----
→ go into the directory

sbin> cat pkgIndex.tcl

package ifneeded FileLib 2.0 [list source [file join $dir FileLib.tcl]]
package ifneeded StdLib 2.0 [list source [file join $dir StdLib.tcl]]

----

→ try to debug, add "set tcl_traceExec 1"
→ get a lot of "nonsens" (important info cut away)

call: man n package

→ check for the term "path" → not found in manpage
→ a lot of text but NOT a single word how to setup the path to get the package found !!

----

after some research the right name is "auto_path"
