have you run the command 'ldconfig' as root?  i don't know if rpm does
that or not during install.

to see if those libs did get installed, run 'updatedb' (it'll take a
minute or two) then you can run 'locate libtcl.so' and 'locate libtk.so'
and it will tell you where they are if they are indeed installed.

note the path where they are installed to and ensure that the path is
listed in your /etc/ld.so.conf file.  'ldconfig' again and that might
solve your problem...

i've found that ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net is a fast server for grabbing rpm's.
http://google.com/linux is also good for finding particular files which
should be an rpm package.
