Sorry; there was one time that the xcircuit-dev list got plastered with
spam mail for which the only obvious rejection rule was ISO-2022-JP
(Japanese). I expect that particular spam threat is long gone, so I
will remove the filter rule, and you should not have any trouble
posting in the future.

Check both the paths and permissions to /usr/lib/libtk8.4.so and the
somewhat roundabout /usr/lib/tk8.4/../libtk8.4.so. If both of those
exist and are readable and are not dangling symbolic links, then
check if the error comes from libtk8.4.so itself by doing
ldd /usr/lib/libtk8.4.so
and see if any of the dependencies are missing. ldd should tell you
right away if it can't find one of the dependent files. My result for
ldd is:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00aa4000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00a2e000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00a48000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00900000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56555000)
By the way, I compile and install Tcl/Tk 8.5, because (1) it's better,
and (2) the installed version in /usr/lib is compiled for 32 bits.
There have been problems where xcircuit compiles to 64 bits but then
attempts to link to a 32-bit shared object library. I don't immediately
recognize this as such a case, but it could be. If you download the
latest Tcl/Tk from http://www.tcl.tk and compile it from source, it
will install by default into the /usr/local/ path and won't interfere
with the existing installation of version 8.4 in /usr/lib/.
Regards,
Tim
