I am still not understanding, what actually happened. Does the wish 
shell crash, does it simply exit, or hang? Is there no error message?

You can try if a different/newer version works for your setup. For 
example, you could download a copy of a tclkit from here:

	http://tclkits.rkeene.org/fossil/wiki/Downloads

presumably the 8.6.3 version for RHEL5, and try if it runs a script like 
this

# the next line should make an empty window appear
package require Tk
# this line should create the button in it
pack [button .b -text Hello -command exit]

If this does work, then installing Tcl/Tk from scratch (i.e. copmiling 
yourself) might work.
(Unfortunately, you cannot make tkinter work with a Tclkit)
