Extracting the sources you get the header files, yes, but not the
libraries. But still your post implies that somehow extconf.rb found
the libraries, otherwise you wouldn't be able to build the tcltklib
extension.

I suppose your Linux distribution has the Tcl/Tk libraries already
installed but not the header files. These header files are located in
a so called development package or -devel I think.
