Yes, but emc2.3.1 has some incompatabilities with ubuntu 9.04, and also
at least one common misconfiguration that is not detected.
This specific error message:

is a sign that you've mixed Tk 8.4 and Tk 8.5, which are different
incompatible versions of the Tk widget toolkit. (9.04 uses Tk8.5 by
default, but a lot of our documentation refers to Tk8.4 which is the
standard on ubuntu 8.04 and earlier, and is available as a non-standard
version on 9.04) Using the package manager, install tk8.5-dev and
tcl8.5-dev, remove tk8.4-dev and tcl8.4-dev, and redo your build from
scratch, starting with ./configure.
I think that will get you past this specific problem. I think after
that the remaining problems are more minor, but there may be one I'm not
remembering at the moment.
When it's released (soon, I hope), 2.3.2 will detect and note the
specific misconfiguration of Tk version.
The git 'master' version of emc2 has several more fixes that improve its
working on Ubuntu 9.04. You might also wish to get this version instead
of 2.3.1.
