So, all of the errors appear related to linking _tkagg.so to the various
tkinter and tcl libraries. I see that you have tcl-8.4.7 and tcl-8.5.13,
and it is the 8.4 version that the linker is picking up.  Which version of
tcl do you have the development package for?  Perhaps you have the 8.5
version of the dev packages, would would have newer symbols and the linker
then tries linking against the older library without those symbols? This is
completely a guess, though.
