There's a whole sequence of them. Here's how it looks when succesful 
(Fedora)

checking for tclConfig.sh... no
checking for tclConfig.sh in library (sub)directories... 
/usr/lib/tclConfig.sh
checking for tkConfig.sh... no
checking for tkConfig.sh in library (sub)directories... /usr/lib/tkConfig.sh
checking /usr/include/tcl8.4/generic/tcl.h usability... no
checking /usr/include/tcl8.4/generic/tcl.h presence... no
checking for /usr/include/tcl8.4/generic/tcl.h... no
checking /usr/include/tcl8.4/tcl.h usability... no
checking /usr/include/tcl8.4/tcl.h presence... no
checking for /usr/include/tcl8.4/tcl.h... no
checking /usr/include/tcl.h usability... yes
checking /usr/include/tcl.h presence... yes
checking for /usr/include/tcl.h... yes
checking /usr/include/tk8.4/generic/tk.h usability... no
checking /usr/include/tk8.4/generic/tk.h presence... no
checking for /usr/include/tk8.4/generic/tk.h... no
checking /usr/include/tk8.4/tk.h usability... no
checking /usr/include/tk8.4/tk.h presence... no
checking for /usr/include/tk8.4/tk.h... no
checking /usr/include/tcl8.4/tk.h usability... no
checking /usr/include/tcl8.4/tk.h presence... no
checking for /usr/include/tcl8.4/tk.h... no
checking /usr/include/tk.h usability... yes
checking /usr/include/tk.h presence... yes
checking for /usr/include/tk.h... yes
checking whether compiling/linking Tcl/Tk code works... yes

And at the end you should get:

  Interfaces supported:      X11, tcltk
 
but of course you need to check that tcltk is there...
