http://jfontain.free.fr/tcltk-8.4.8-1.spec

Generated and tested on an up-to-date Red Hat Fedora Core 3 i386 system.
The rpms can install under /opt/tcltk (see notes below) in order not to
conflict and peacefully coexist with the stock Redhat Tcl and Tk rpms.

To build the rpms, download the Tcl/Tk 8.4.8 and Thread 2.5.2 sources
from http://download.sourceforge.net/tcl/ into the
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ directory, place the specification file in the
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ directory, then from that directory, type:
    # rpmbuild -bb --clean tcltk-8.4.8-1.spec

Notes:
- You may change the installation directory and turn on the thread
extension at the beginning of the specification file.
