Well in the meanwhile I finished my compilation (the binaries may be a 
slightly more user and time-friendly route).

My conclusions:

It seems that Tcl/Tk 8.6 they removed the result method from 
'Tcl_Interp' which gets accessed quite a lot and makes it fail. The 
readme says it supports tcl >= 8.4 so practically this means you have to 
use 8.4 or 8.5 .

Also, I think when our HPC team installed it they disabled Bwidget, I 
currently didn't and see that the text sometimes seems a bit 
(vertically) misaligned.
