I'll bet that bdt is a shell script and it does some trickery with
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Can you post the contents of bdt (assuming it
is a shell script and not too long)? Further, I suspect that bdt.exec is
the actual binary. If that is the case, can you post the output of
`ldd ./bdt.exec`?
Since tcl8.4 was last available in jessie [0], you most likely have an
incomplete application distribution. Or it depends on you installing
tcl8.4 from system packages and you will need to grab a jessie package
and install it on your system, or possibly rebuild it (in case the
dependencies don't work out exactly correct).
