INTERPRETER::delete was not defined anywhere, but this is only a
symptom of your problem. What happens is that Tkined is unable to
create the new INTERPRETER object. There are two possible reasons:

1) The script file name is no valid (no idea why).

2) Creating the pipe to the new INTERPRETER fails.

In these cases, Tkined tries do delete the embryonic interpreter,
which fails because there is no INTERPRETER::delete. You can add an
empty definition for INTERPRETER::delete to Objects.tcl, e.g.:

proc INTERPRETER::delete { interpreter } {
}

This fixes the symptom. I have no idea (yet) what the real problem
might be on your system.
