Maybe you have overdone that; please chose *one* of the strategies,
not all of them. Just using LD_LIBRARY_PATH should be enough. What
value are you using for that?

Since you did not tell us what you did (precisely), it is hard to tell
what you did wrong.

Perhaps you don't have a file named libtk8.3.so on your system,
perhaps you can't execute it, perhaps it isn't the Tk shared library?
Many things can have gone wrong.
