Sorry, I should have been clearer. The tcl bindings build with tcl8.5, but the itcl / itk bindings don't. So I think the situation is the same as yours. The only other thing is that there is a bug in Ubuntu which requires you to set ITCL_LIBRARY in order for the examples to run correctly when itcl is used. I submitted a bug report on this some time ago. Not sure whether it has been fixed in the recently released Ubunutu Ibex.
