You failed to compile tcltklib.so. 
Although I don't know the reason, maybe the trouble is based on 
"there are no Tcl/Tk libraries" or "cannot find Tcl/Tk libraries".
You may have to give some configure options to determine the names 
and pathes of Tcl/Tk libraries. 

# Don't forget "make distclean" to delete the old Makefile.

I have no experience in MacOS X. 
So I may be wrong, but the feature of extconf.rb described on the page
is probably included  to the current version (e.g. 1.8.2-preview3) of 
extconf.rb. 
Please try the current (NOT replace!) extconf.rb.
To use Tcl/Tk framework, you must give --enable-mac-tcltk-framework 
option when do configure.
