You are probably missing a link between tkined and scotty. In
TKINED_HOME/lib/tkined there should be a directory from scotty, or a link
to it at least. The directory from scotty is SCOTTY_HOME/lib/tkined/apps.

I did install tkined and scotty separately as two packages, and you can
see what I mean here:

magnus@ipx:/pack/tkined/lib/tkined> ls -l
total 28
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 28 Mar 19 19:21 apps -> /pack/scotty/lib/tkined/apps
drwxrwxr-x 2 root magnus 3072 Mar 22 10:52 bitmaps
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root magnus 3080 Mar 16 17:56 init.tcl
drwxrwxr-x 2 root magnus 512 Mar 17 01:04 site
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root magnus 4529 Mar 22 10:55 tkined.defaults

TKINED_HOME = /pack/tkined
SCOTTY_HOME = /pack/scotty

Now you can restart tkined, and find the Tools menu mentioned.
I hope this helps :-)
