That's your problem. As Marco points out, you're using Cygwin Ports,
which provides a *NIX/X11 version of tcl/tk. Install the xinit package
and its dependencies to get the Cygwin/X server and the means to easily
start it.
If you have further questions on Cygwin Ports packages, please direct
them to the cygwin-ports-general list.
