Does the RPM for RH9 know about TCL/Tk

It shouldn't, but the RPM may be different depending on what was
present on the system upon which it was built. Martyn may have been
building on a system where tcl/tk wasn't installed, or -- there's a
bug report on bugzilla.redhat.com on this -- the build was adversely
affected by incorrectness of the tclConfig.sh and tkConfig.sh scripts.

A fairly easy experiment would be to rebuild from the source RPM on
your own system. Since this builds an RPM, it will retain the
upgradability etc. of the "official" RPM. Could you try and tell us
whether the problem remains? (Don't forget that you need a bunch of
"-devel" packages installed.)
