Thank you for your detailed report.  Two things I noticed.

(1) I am somewhat concerned that you are changing the configure script.  The
more standard way to do what you are trying to do is to set some environment
variables TCLINCDIR, TCLLIBDIR, ITCLINCDIR, ITCLLIBDIR, TKINCDIR, TKLIBDIR
to your locations for the tcl/itcl/tk stuff.  Also, the standard way to turn
off f77, cxx, and python is to specify the --disable-f77 --disable-cxx
--disable-python configure options.

(2) Our static drivers (which for historical reasons are the default) were
not as thoroughly tested as the dynamic drivers before the release.  Because
we have had some bad reports on some platforms for static drivers, we
suggest using the dynamic drivers as a first step.  The way you do that is
to specify the configure option, e.g.,

./configure --enable-dyndrivers --disable-f77 --disable-cxx --disable-python

So lets try one more iteration with an unchanged configure script, the
environment variables set so configure can find the locations of your
tcl/tk/itcl stuff, and the above configure options (you may want a different
install prefix than the default /usr/local as well). Send me the associated
configure.out and make.out off list if you are still having some problems
