Before figuring out the symlinks, yes this is what I did.  You do need  
the with-tcltk-includes option, though.  Just let configure find the / 
usr/lib tcl/tk libs, then edit platform.make.

Though, if your X11 tcltk is isolated (that old /usr/local/tcltk/* ?),  
then the symlinks in /usr/local/lib shouldn't affect it.

Hmm, I don't know about changes that would cause this.

Though I wonder - dropping tclTk in GRASS 7, was that just for the  
GUI, or was that supposed to include nviz also (we would assume that  
the python nviz would be solid by then)?
