Tired brain.  I saw a lot of glx in there (about a dozen or so more  
that I didn't copy-n-paste).

More info, I forgot: the GUI splash displays just before this error.

Definitely something wrong in TclTk 8.5.  The GUI runs with 8.4  
(32bits).

The reason I tried 8.5 is that 8.4 does not build 64bits on OSX  
(configure actually removes any 64bit flags you try to add).  I  
suppose the GUI itself doesn't need to run in 64bits, as long as the  
modules are 64bits they will run as such.
