Your programs failed to load libtk.so, which probably should reside in
/usr/lib or /usr/local/lib.  Possible causes of the problem are:

  * you haven't installed Tcl/Tk.
  * you haven't set ld.so.conf properly.
  * you haven't run ldconfig after installing Tcl/Tk.
  * name of your Tk library was not libtk.so but libtk8.3.so or such.
    In this case, you should recompile tcltk.so with proper library
    name set.
