This problem again - it's linking the system tcltk 8.4.

There's a note to the OSX source readme to symlink the ActiveTcl  
framework to /usr/local.  This should avoid accidental system tcltk  
linking:

sudo ln -sf /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Tcl /usr/ 
local/lib/libtcl.dylib
sudo ln -sf /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Tcl /usr/ 
local/lib/libtcl8.5.dylib
sudo ln -sf /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/ 
libtclstub8.5.a /usr/local/lib/libtclstub8.5.a
sudo ln -sf /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk /usr/ 
local/lib/libtk.dylib
sudo ln -sf /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk /usr/ 
local/lib/libtk8.5.dylib
sudo ln -sf /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/ 
libtkstub8.5.a /usr/local/lib/libtkstub8.5.a
sudo ln -sf tclsh8.5 /usr/local/bin/tclsh
sudo ln -sf wish8.5 /usr/local/bin/wish

(I added the tclsh and wish symlinks recently, haven't comitted yet,  
to help get the GUI to use 8.5)
