Hi, I just tried to take a look at tkdesk too today, and had the same problem. I found the .so file in the /usr/lib/itcl3.3 directory so I made symlinks from all the .so files there to /usr/lib and did a ldconfig.

Messing around with library symlinks seldom solves any problem! The real cause of the error is the fact that tkdesk uses old and obsolete features of itcl that aren't supported anymore in the current version of itcl. So bug the tkdesk maintainers (don't know if tkdesk is supported anymore) to change the tkdesk code an it will run once again.

Hum, this have solved many a problems for me.

This is true in this case.

So bug the tkdesk maintainers (don't know if tkdesk is supported anymore) to change the tkdesk code an it will run once again.

I will email Chris J. Coppick, the maintainer. The temprary solution is to install itcl < 3.3 in another prefix and have Tkdesk link to it dynamically or just link it statically.
