Message:
Edgar,
You should use the INSTALL file first for the most detailed and up-to-date
compilation & installation instructions, not the wiki.  That said, I can't
really tell you what you're doing wrong because you've not shown what the
problem is.

I assume from what you said that you're trying to compile against system
Tcl/Tk libraries instead of letting BRL-CAD compile the ones that we
provide.  By default, configure will autodetect system libraries and use
them if they are 1) found and 2) compatible.  If it can't find the library,
that would require the --with-tcl/--with-tk and possibly other
cflags/cppflags/ldflags.  You can forcibly disable our compilation of
tcl/tk with the --disable-tcl-build and --disable-tk-build options.

However, it may be finding the library and simply determining that it's
not compatible.  It's impossible to know what it's doing without seeing
your configure output and/or your config.log file.

You should provide your config.log as an attachment.

Cheers!
Sean
