Thank you very much for your response, but that was not the problem.

I've understood that these files define methods that are only called by
tcl objects. That explains why there is no problem during compilation
and linking. You can really compile without the files tworayground.cc,
propagation.cc, antenna.cc and omni-antenna.cc, an error will only occur
at execution.
