Hi;

The Tcl and Tk libs used are controled by CMakeCache.txt var.
TCL_LIBRARY and TK_LIBRARY along with TCL_INCLUDE_PATH and
TK_INCLUDE_PATH etc. These should point to the libs built from the
sources distributed with the ParaView source. I'm guessing that if
you do not know how to change the Tcl / Tk libs then you have not
changed them and that you are using the correct ones.

It seems that vtkTkRenderWidget is not working for you. Could you write
a small test program which will try and create a vtkTkRenderWidget?
(See $PARAVIEW_BASE/GUI/Client/vtkPVRenderView.cxx for an example
of how to do this).
