I don't think so. First, I checked for any Tk/Tcl before installing 8.4. 
And all these directories it lists below do not actually exist, except 
the first two (/usr/local/...). It looks like it is looking wherever it 
can think of for /lib or /library directories that might include tk.tcl.

BUT if you look further down in the error message, it looks like it 
actually DID find tk.tcl and couldn't use it:
