You have almost done it!

The error is due to linking the Tcl/Tk libraries. If you have the Tcl/Tk
libraries installed on your server (libtcl8.4.so, libtk8.4.so; they are
usually in /usr/lib at least in Debian) then use these libs instead.=20

Edit your Make.sys and specify this system libraries. For example:=20

TK_LIB      =3D -L/path/to/you/system/tcl-library -ltk8.4
TCL_LIB     =3D -ltcl8.4
