I believe this means that the dynamic loader isn't finding libtcl
(ldd seems to adhere to the "strong silent type" school of error message
design: if it fails to resolve a library reference, it simply doesn't
print anything :-().

You said before that you have libtcl in /usr/lib, so a reasonable bet is
that the ldconfig search path doesn't include /usr/lib at all ...
see the man page for ldconfig to check and fix it.
