Probably configure detected older version of Tcl. Ask admin where is new tcl and use it in configure.
E. Tcl Detection and Installation
If ./configure does not correctly detect the location of your Tcl
library and header file, or if you experience errors related to Tcl
during linking, preform these steps:

1. Depending on what shell your using:

bash/ksh:
export LB_LIBRARY_PATH='<path to DIRECTORY containing Tcl library>'

csh/tcsh/tclsh:
setenv LB_LIBRARY_PATH '<path to DIRECTORY containing Tcl library>'

2. Run the following command from your Eggdrop compilation directory
(this is all one command):

./configure --with-tclinc='<full path to tcl.h>'
--with-tcllib='<full path to Tcl library>'

3. Continue compiling the bot, starting with 'make config'.

If you do not have Tcl installed on your system, you can compile it in
your /home directory. Download Tcl from Tcl's SourceForge project page
at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/, or from ActiveState at
ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_4/. Read Tcl's README file for
help with compiling and installing it. After you compile Tcl, follow
the steps above to allow Eggdrop to detect Tcl.
