There are two issues:
1. Make sure that ESPResSo finds the Tcl include files. You might have
to use something like

        configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/tcl8.4"

2. Furthermore, you will need the static Tcl libraries (libtcl8.4.a), as
ESPResSo currently can't handle dynamic libraries (like libtcl8.4.so.0).
I'm not sure why this is not in the tcl-8.4-dev package: it should be.
If you can't find it anywhere, you will have to install Tcl manually.
