It seems that your tcl interpreter is too old.
Version 0.3 of the Source Installer includes handy
version checks. This means that you can now run for
example
$ ./configure | more
and you will find your tools versions among the
checks.

Seems you miss the tcl Tk package too.

You can achieve the same thing by just saying:
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/usr
See ./configure --help output for more information

I suggest you to fetch the new 0.3 release, then run
./configure --prefix=/home/usr
and see which packages are missing, and install them.
If you need/want to install them from source here they
are:
Tcl and Tk : http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl
Expect : http://expect.nist.gov/#unix
Do ask again if you still have troubles getting
sourceinstall to work or if you have trouble setting
up your tcl interpreter, but please provide your full
OS name (try 'uname -a') and package versions.
