[Image-SIG] Compiling PIL 1.0: undefined symbol: XFreePixmap

I use RedHat Linux 6.0 on a PC. After compiling and linking PIL
1.0, I run the suggested check and get:

Python 1.5.2 (#7, Sep 28 1999, 01:52:23)  [GCC egcs-2.91.66
19990314/Linux (egcs- on linux2

>>> import _imaging
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: /usr/lib/libtk8.0.so: undefined symbol: XFreePixmap

Searches of DejaNews and the image-sig archives indicate that
this problem has occurred before. What is the best solution? Do I
need to rebuild Tcl/Tk? Is there a PIL 1.0.1?

Thanks,
