Are you getting errors about libtcl.so missing? This can be solved.

As root, go to /usr/lib and see what versions of libtcl*.so you have. Then, make a symlink named libtcl.so that points to the newest version. On my system, it looks like this:

# cd /usr/lib

# ls -l libtcl*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       263056 Sep 11  1997 /usr/lib/libtcl7.6.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       564652 Dec  3 03:20 /usr/lib/libtcl8.0.a
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           14 Jan  4 00:26 /usr/lib/libtcl8.0.so -> libtcl8.0.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       420448 Dec  3 03:20 /usr/lib/libtcl8.0.so.1

# ln -s libtcl8.0.so libtcl

I don't know which version of libtcl is needed, but it worked with version 8.0 for me.

If you have other errors, please post the exact error message if you can capture it.
