I'm as much a novice as you are, but I think the problem is with the names
that tcl and tk use for the libraries.

Change these to read:

>TCLLIBS =       -L/usr/local/lib -ltcl76 -lm -ldl
>TKLIBS =        -L/usr/local/lib -ltk42

and they will work.

Note that I've removed the "." in each library name.

I wonder if renaming the libraries would be a better solution, but I'm not
knowlegable enough to say.
