you're probably missing those libs, indeed.

Need more details to advice further.
But, as you said, you're newbie, why re-compiling stuff, then, and not just use precompiled binaries?

Also, Tk is large and compiling it could be difficult. Try compiling Tcl and then install Tcl::Tk, those two CPAN modules could be used instead of Tk with very similar functionality.
You'll gain much more flexibility with less efforts spent...
