it sounds like the tix extension is not installed, do you have a 
directory '/Library/Tcl/tix8.2' ?
if not, you have not installed the correct Tcl/Tk Aqua distribution, 
you need TclTkAquaBI.

I've cc'd the tcl-mac mailing list, which is the appropriate forum for 
these questions, please direct further queries there, thanks.
