I know this problem from old RedHat
The fastest solution is to get the source (watch proper Tcl Version) from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/
unpack (untar) the sources.
copy tclInt.h and tclIntDecls.h (I think it is enough) from generic directory
into directory there
tcl.h ist (I suppose /usr/include)
You should compile it without problems.

It is also possible (and easier) to include tclInt.h path by setting
env-variable.
It this example the is tcl8.3.3 unpacked

export C_INCLUDE_PATH=~/tcl8.3.3/generic
./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib --with-tk=/usr/lib
make

If fedora still use 8.3 I suggest to build new tcl/tk 8.4.6 by yourself.
It is not so difficult.
