--with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.3  should do it...

=> try leaving off the final "/" from that line after "tcl8.3".


I have tcl8.0, 8.3, and 8.4 on my Debian/Sarge system, the extra
libraries shouldn't hurt. Make sure you have installed and are using the
tcl8.3-dev & tk8.3-dev packages, and not tcl8.0-dev & tk8.0-dev.


This is my ./configure output from 5.0.2 with the same options, but no
trailing "/"s in the include path names:  (5.3 CVS snapshot is same)
[...]
checking whether to use Tcl/Tk... yes
checking for location of Tcl/Tk includes... /usr/include/tcl8.3
checking for tcl.h... yes
checking for tk.h... yes
checking Tcl version... 8.3
checking Tk version... 8.3
checking for location of Tcl/Tk library... 
checking for Tcl_Init in -ltcl... no
checking for Tcl_Init in -ltcl... no
checking for Tcl_Init in -ltcl8.3... yes
checking for Tk_MainWindow in -ltk... no
checking for Tk_MainWindow in -ltk... no
checking for Tk_MainWindow in -ltk8.3... yes
[...]

Note the
 "checking for location of Tcl/Tk includes... /usr/include/tcl8.3"
line, which has the specified directory missing in your log.


Where does  'ls -l /etc/alternatives/wish'  point to?
Does  'ls /usr/include/tcl8.3/'  work?


good luck,
