Can you post the contents of bdt (assuming it is a shell script and not too long)? Further, I suspect that bdt.exec is the actual binary. If that is the case, can you post the output of `ldd ./bdt.exec`?
Since tcl8.4 was last available in jessie [0], you most likely have an incomplete application distribution. Or it depends on you installing tcl8.4 from system packages and you will need to grab a jessie package and install it on your system, or possibly rebuild it (in case the dependencies don't work out exactly correct).
