this worked for me when I upgraded to tcl/tk 8.3 from scriptics.
you need to tell pd what version to link against.

find out what version of tcl and tk you have.

then, take a look at the makefile.  do a search for "tk".  you should find
some compiling options for "-libtcl8.0" and "-libtk8.0"  or something lke
that.

for me, I just changed the libtcl8.0 to libtcl8.3 and the same for tk.
and it compiled just fine.
