OK.  

The file tkInt.h should define a C preprocessor macro 
TK_LIBRARY "/usr/lib/tk"

or somesuch where the tcl scripts for tk reside.  Mine happen to
reside in /usr/lib/tk4.0 

It's the scripts in this diretory (namely, tk.tcl) that the program
can't find.

You might try setting your environment to contain the variable
(setenv TK_LIBRARY /usr/lib/tk4.0) with the pointer to the correct
path.  If you don't know what path to use, you can always do a
find / -name tk.tcl -print, which will search the entire directory
structure to which you have access for the file tk.tcl.

Barring success with that, you might have to re-install Tcl/Tk.

Now, why the error message wasn't parsed correctly, I don't know.
It's obbviously trying to give a helpful error message.
