I didn't think you could install both of those at the same time. Are you
sure you actually have one of them installed?
Note, that the -dev packages do not provide "symbols" for linking. They
provide the header files for inclusion into C source and the libfoo.so
links for ld to link against. Maybe it would help if you showed us the
errors from your attempts to compile tcl applications.
