You\'ll need to install some X11 environment. You may want to try pocketworkstation.org. There you can use common debian packages.

If you don\'t need Tk, you can install tcl without having any X environment present.   A (lighter?) alternative for the X environment that allows you to run Tk scripts is to install qtopia-x and use a VNC server to view the display.  The main problem that I\'ve had with this approach is that I\'ve haven\'t gotten any of the X window managers working very well -- I think it can be done, I just haven\'t been able to do it (but I haven\'t put a whole lot of effort into trying either).
