Yo Hari:

The symbolic link won't solve the problem.

I managed to scrape together a blt for tcltk 8.5 on OSX, so it is possible. 
Most of the hacks in turn came from a different Linux distro (gentoo) so it 
should be possible on ubuntu.

Here by the way is the patch:

http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fink/dists/10.4/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11/blt-x86_64.patch


debian and ubuntu distribute blt without the bltwish executable, and I 
apparently put a huge weed up their arse a couple of years ago by reporting 
this as a bug.  They are totally inflexible. Like IT support people, the 
maintainers think you work for them rather than vice versa. It might be worth 
flooding them with complaints and bug reports.
