Hi Michael,

If I understand you install tcl/tk but not instaled developers packages
of tcl/tk.

I ubbuntu - debian packages - exists 2 packagas for tcl (tcl8.? and
tcl8.?-dev) and 2 packages for tk (tk8.? and tk8.?-dev)

In your system also exist 2 packagas tcl-8.4.7-2 and tcl-devel-8.4.7-2

I thinks if you install tcl-devel and tk-devel packages you solve your
problem
