Please refer to the details of the bug and the fix here:
http://<email address hidden>/msg629635.html

I even tried to compile and install:
http://graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/SOURCES/graphviz-2.28.0.tar.gz

But there so many dependencies that I cannot even install in Ubuntu-10.04!!!

All I want is to compile the tcl and tk extensions.
I am able to install tcl8.5-dev, but I am not able to install tk8.5-dev because it
depends on libxft-dev, which in turn depends on other pkgs that I cannot install!

Thanks for any help!

Here is an update.

I install the following pkgs of specific versions to get the libxft-dev:

sudo apt-get install libxrender-dev=1:0.9.5-1
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6=2.3.11-1ubuntu2
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev=2.3.11-1ubuntu2
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev=2.8.0-2ubuntu1
sudo apt-get install libxft-dev=2.1.14-1ubuntu1

This allows me to install tk8.5-dev, which I need in order to be able to
build graphviz-2.80.0.

Furthermore, I had to downgrade some pkgs in order to install libdevil-dev:

sudo apt-get install libtiff4=3.9.2-2
sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev
sudo apt-get install liblcms1=1.18.dfsg-1ubuntu2
sudo apt-get install liblcms1-dev
sudo apt-get install libdevil-dev=1.7.8-6
