Here was my cure:

Downloaded and installed the latest and greatest tcl and tk, the cvs
version.
Same problem persisted.

Found an old (2005) post about the same problem. I installed an old
version
of tclkit from the cdrom (tclkit-linux-x86) and linked it to the name
tclkit and now it works apparently.

If this bug dates back to 2005 why hasn't it been fixed yet? Or did I
just have an inappropriate version of tclkit?
