Even if tcl/tk is not installed by default on your system, doing it is usually not a pain, since the guys making it insist on keeping its required dependencies minimal: IIRC, to install tcl/tk on any Unix, you just need to have X and a C compiler.

This may be a slight advantage over most other toolkits, that usually require other libraries that you may not have installed on your system, or installed at the wrong version. I was sometimes caught in such a dependency hell when trying to install a toolkit that I eventually gave up...
