A couple of preliminary questions/observations. First, are you really 
using the "official" 6.8.1 release? I would highly recommend grabbing 
something a bit newer. CVS is typically always stable -- I have used CVS 
HEAD for the better part of ten years.

On linux one should not need to build the tcl packages (tcl, tk, itcl). 
The build should pick up the installed system components, provided they 
(and their -devel counterparts) are installed. I don't know about SuSE, 
but on Fedora, the -devel packages contain all the necessary bits for 
this to work.

This is the key: "cc1: warnings being treated as errors"

You're seeing a bunch of warnings which the build is treating as errors. 
Use the configure flag --disable-werror to get around this.
