Perhaps you are using some untested combination of Tcl/Tk and BLT
(and I can tell from that backtrace that your BLT isn't a brand new
version).

I think you should upgrade your Tcl, Tk, and BLT installations.

I just installed Tcl/Tk 8.2.2 and BLT 2.4m, and they work fine on
Solaris 7.  Here are my build scripts, replace the source, compiler,
and install paths (prefix) as appropriate for your system.

For Tcl 8.2.2:

#!/bin/sh
SRC=$S/tcl8.2.2/unix
PATH=/opt/SDGgcc/2.95.1/bin:$PATH
export PATH
$SRC/configure --prefix=$P/swarm/tcl8.2 --enable-gcc --enable-shared 
--srcdir=$SRC
make

For Tk 8.2.2:

#!/bin/sh
SRCDIR=$S/tk8.2.2/unix
PATH=/opt/SDGgcc/2.95.1/bin:$PATH
export PATH
$SRCDIR/configure --prefix=$P/swarm/tk8.2 --with-x --enable-gcc --enable-shared 
--srcdir=$SRCDIR --with-tcl=$B/tcl8.2.2
make

For BLT 2.4m:

#!/bin/sh
SRCDIR=$S/blt2.4m
PATH=/opt/SDGgcc/2.95.1/bin:$PATH
export PATH
CFLAGS='-g -Wno-implicit-int -O2' $SRCDIR/configure --srcdir=$SRCDIR 
--prefix=$P/swarm/blt2.4 --with-tcl=$P/swarm/tcl8.2 --with-tk=$P/swarm/tk8.2 
--enable-shared
make
