Hi Brenda,
could you tell me which Linux distribution do you use?

I had the same porble related to the tcl libraries. I solved it installing 
on my Ubuntu Linux the tcl8.4 and tk8.4 packet using the Synaptic manager.

check if your linux has correctly installed tcl and tk libraries.

regards

Matteo
