Daniel,

Thanks for the tips. Went and did a clean recompile and things worked out just great. We were using an 8.4.0 distribution archive version downloaded from sf, and the directory name assumption appears to be what was biting us.

For anyone else trying to get things to work, here is the exact process that worked clean for us:

 [[downloaded tcl and tk 8.4.0 from sourceforge]
 tar zxvf tcl8.4.0-src.tar.gz
 tar zxvf tk8.4.0-src.tar.gz
 mv tcl8.4.0 tcl
 mv tk8.4.0 tk
 cd tcl/macosx
 make >& make.log
 sudo make install
 cd ../../tk/macosx
 make >& make.log
 sudo make install
 open /Applications/Utilities/Wish\ Shell.app

Now... to get our application to link against the new tcl/tk libraries and see what happens..
