# yum provides \*/libtk8.\*

1:tk-8.5.7-5.el6.x86_64 : The graphical toolkit for the Tcl scripting
language
Repo        : base
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/lib64/libtk8.5.so


it appeaqrs CentOS 6 only has tk-8.5, not 8.6, so this pymol thing
you've installed must be built for some other distribution or version.
