Summary: initialization failure on amd64

Initial Comment:
I tried running aMSN 0.94 and it immediately crashed  
with this error:  
  
(cronus)~> amsn  
Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk  
applicationunknown color name "Black"  
Error in startup script: can't invoke "wm" command:   
application has been destroyed  
    while executing  
"wm state . withdraw"  
    (file "/usr/bin/amsn" line 43)  
  
Out of curiosity I ran wish interactively and got this:  
  
(cronus)~> wish  
Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk  
applicationunknown color name "Black"  
% (cronus)~>

I cannot repro this with 8.4.12-rc on an amd64 SuSE machine.

I'm getting this exact same error. I'm also on on a linux
system running on amd64. I can reproduce this with the
versions supplied by my distro and with the latest version
on sourceforge (8.4.10) compiled from source. I'm using gcc
version 3.4.4 and glibc 2.3.5. I have no .tclshrc or .wishrc.

I'm compiling tcl simply with ./configure && make and tk
with ./configure --with-tcl=/path/to/tclConfig && make.

$ pwd
/home/herbie/tmp/tk8.4.9/library
$ echo $TK_LIBRARY
/home/herbie/tmp/tk8.4.10/library
$ echo $TCL_LIBRARY
/home/herbie/tmp/tcl8.4.10/library
$ ldd ./wish

        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaab401000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000)
$ ./wish
Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk
applicationunknown color name "Black"

Needless to say I get the same error running any tk
application. I've attached the output of strace ./wish here:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~herbs/wish-strace
if it's any help.

This is gentoo 2004.4, with a 2.6.10 kernel, which probably 
explains a'plenty.  I'm suspecting that it's totally hosed from 
someplace else, because I got the same error with the 8.4.5 
that is marked as stable.  I have no idea what dependency 
would be broken, though.

Looks like a failure to load Tk.

Something somewhere is totally hosed, but I don't know where
at all. What OS? Whose distribution of Tcl/Tk? (If you built
it from source, please tell us where you got the sources
from, how you configured them, and whether you remembered to
install them properly.)

Hmm, and also whether you have a .tclshrc or a .wishrc in
your home directory too, please. (If you don't that's
perfectly OK)
