You shall be able to choose tcl 8.5 with:
sudo update-alternatives --config wish
Then, did this error prevent Pd from loading? Afaicr, plugins' errors shall not block Pd.

Don't know if this has been mentioned before...
On Ubuntu Lucid (10.04LTS) Pd-extended-0.43 deb from the launchpad.net repository.
Pd won't start properly in that it complains that it need Tcl/Tk8.5.
Tcl/Tk8.5 is installed, but so is Tcl/Tk8.4.
(Tcl) UNHANDLED ERROR: version conflict for package "Tk": have 8.4, need 8.5
while executing
"package require Tk 8.5"
("uplevel" body line 10)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $tclcode"FAILED TO LOAD /usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/search-plugin/search-plugin.tcl
So I tried changing the symlinks in /usr/lib to point to 8.5. This
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2013-01-24 09:45 libtk.a -> libtk8.5.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2013-01-24 09:45 libtk.so -> libtk8.5.so
Still no good.
Could Pd-extended be made to force the use of the 8.5 libs?
