That should work fine.  I have a machine configured that way. 

How do you know that the message from Tk are "garbage"?  It sounds
to me like a probable {TCL,TK,BLT}_LIBRARY variable problem.

You don't happen to have a -I/usr/include in your configuration?

Don't fiddle with /etc/ld.so.conf unless you know what you are doing.
Instead, change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
