Looks like you might be using an out-of-date version of Tcl/Tk that was 
built for the PowerPC architecture, instead of a universal binary 
version that supports both on OS X.

I think Snack is also installed in /System/Library/Tcl. Try moving the 
/Library/Tcl out of the way, and trying again. It should be the correct 
architecture.
