First of all, if you are using Tcl/Tk 8.4, you must have BLT 2.4z and
you must use the --with-blt configure option:

    ./configure --with-blt=/usr/lib

The next release of TkDesk will do a better job of finding BLT.

More specific to your error, you do not appear to be linking against
any Itcl library.  Not sure how you managed to get it configured like
that.  That's odd.  TkDesk requires Itcl.  Is Itcl 3.2 available on
Fedora?  What did the summary at the end of the ./configure look like?
