I strongly suspect you are on Windows, although you do not say so.
If so, CHANGES says:

   Optional support for the Tcl/Tk interface.  To use this you need to
   install tcl831.exe from dev.scriptics.com, and you will need the Tcl
   and Tk dlls in your path.  Also, you need to set the environment
   variable TCL_LIBRARY, to something like c:/Program Files/Tcl/lib/tcl8.3.
   The demos(tk*) will work on Windows.

(tcl832.exe will also work.)  That should answer your problem
