First of all, the obscure error message has been improved in more recent
versions of ld.so.  What it is trying to tell you (I think) is that it
cannot find "libtk.so.3.6".  That is probably because you forgot to run
"ldconfig" after you installed the tk and tcl libraries.  Something like
this should fix the problem for you:

    /sbin/ldconfig /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib
