Hmmm.... The RH8.0 situation is

s -l /usr/lib/libtcl*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 Jan 23 10:18 /usr/lib/libtcl.so -> libtcl.so.0
-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     root       605121 Aug 20  2002 /usr/lib/libtcl.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 Jan 23 10:18 /usr/lib/libtcl8.3.so -> libtcl.so.0

and libtk similarly. That looks a bit weird, so I can't really blame
RH for fixing it up, but I'd suspect that all you need to do is to

ln -s /usr/lib/libtcl8.3.so usr/lib/libtcl.so.0
ln -s /usr/lib/libtk8.3.so usr/lib/libtk.so.0
