Since the libtk versions are incompatible (at API level, as far as I can
guess -- I've tried (now successfully) to adopt source written for
< tk7.4 (?) and for every new libtk (7.4, 7.4) I encountered slight
changes at API level) you should consider change your makefiles to
the proper library (-ltk74 rsp. -ltk75).

gcc will look for (not 100% sure, you should read the gcc manual or
info pages)
libtk.so
libtk.a
in the library path (normally .:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib). The
path can be changed with -L/tmp/lib or similar.
