Thanks a lot. Those really help. However, I don't have the root permission to install those libraries into the required directory. So, I guess that I should use the static version of tkmedit and tksurfer. Could you show me where I can find them? Thanks again.
Best, Thanh

Thanh Ngo,
Welcome to FreeSurfer :) I'm no expert but maybe I can help.
I had the same problem (many people have) with the libtk8.3.so and libtcl8.3so libraries (I assume you're getting a "shared library" error).
Before you try to get the static version to work, try this:
Have you searched your computer for these files? FreeSurfer seems to want them to be in the /usr/lib directory. If you have these files but they are in a different directory, create a symbolic link to them:
e.g., if the files are in /opt/tcltk/lib
cd /usr/lib ln -s /opt/tcltk/lib/libtk8.3.so libtk8.3.so ln -s /opt/tcltk/lib/libtcl8.3.so libtcl8.3.so
If you don't have these files, you should download them (make sure you get version 8.3.x!). If you look on the FreeSurfer Download page, there is a link below the table with the main downloads that takes you to the most up-to-date binaries. I believe these files are posted there.
If you have newer versions of tcl/tk (e.g., 8.4 or 8.5), you need to install the older versions as well (make sure to FORCE the install) -- at least this was the only way I could get it to work.
Hope this helps!

Sorry, but we don't distribute a static version any more. You'll have to install tcl/tk 8.3.

you don't need to be root (although it seems like you should be able to get a sysadmin to install them somewhere). In any case, you can change your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include whereever you have installed them.
cheers, Bruce
