Many things. The fixes to make this work are all in Itcl2.1
(which is based on Tcl7.5p1/Tk4.1p1) or the plus-patches:

Don't worry; It's not your fault.... :-). Probably the option
"-lX11" is just missing when linking the shared library. A
quick fix is the patch below (re-configure Tcl and Tk, then
re-link libtk). Still the event handling will
not be as expected, but at least Tk should load correctly.
