libtk8.0.so error when starting pd

[tarasiewicz at gmx.at]

wait,

suse 7 comes with libtk8.3.so - seems like pd searches for libtk8.0.so

had to download the older tcl/tk packages from ftp.suse.com to get pd
running (the file i found on this machine was only this single file downloaded,
suse definitely comes with the newer 8.3 version)

miller: what is the problem with newer versions of tcl/tk ?
