I think they are aware that it is hard to compile. From their FAQ:

3. Installing TkZinc

Q: How do I install TkZinc?

A: TkZinc can be installed either by compiling the sources please, read the README file), or by using a binary distribution (the last is often much simpler). For Perl users, TkZinc is also available on the CPAN

Q: Which binaries package do you offers?

A: Currently we propose binary package for Debian and Mandrake linux distribution for Intel based hosts. A perl-zinc debian package is also available for StrongArm-based host. However, Pat Thoyts has gently contributed in building a Windows starkit package for Tcl. Any such packaging will be highly appreciated.

Q: Which are the current plateform known to work with TkZinc?

A: TkZinc with Perl is working on Linux (and certainly on Unix). TkZinc with Tcl is working on Linux (Unixes), Windows and MacOSX (under X11 with fink).

Let me guess: you didn't read the README file before you tried compiling?
