Hi,
  In the compile line you listed below, I don't see any -ltcl or -ltk linker
options, which is likely the direct cause of your problem. You must link VMD
(and the plugins!) against Tcl/Tk in order for things to work correctly.
You'll have to set the Tcl/Tk include and link paths correctly in the
configure script and when building the plugins, but the rest should take
care of itself if you've done that correctly.
