I'm not an expert at this, but if your tk doesn't like the installed version of tcl, you may be able to install the older version with a switch for rpm to allow an older version to be installed over the newer one. You may want to look for dependencies on the newer one so that you don't break anything by installing the older version. If that doesn't help, I'll have to defer to someone with more knowledge than I have.
