Thanks for the reply!

Here is what I did wrong.  I extracted the TK 8.0 libraries in /tmp as I
stated in my first post.  Then I installed tcltkgrass2.3.  Then I realized
that TK 8.0 had installed in the wrong place since it was extracted in /tmp
instead of /, so I deleted the files in /tmp and extracted it in /.  At
this point tcltkgrass did not work.  After sending my previous post and
thinking about it for awhile, I decided to delete tcltkgrass and then
reinstall.  It now works correctly, so it appears that TK 8.0 must be
installed *correctly* before installing tcltkgrass.  Of course if I really
knew what I was doing ;) I'm sure I could have just moved the files and
changed some links to get it to work correctly without going through the
delete and reinstall process.

Now, I just need to figure out what file permissions need to be changed so
I can use it in a non-root account.
