this looks as a version mismatch: you get different (older) libraries at 
runtime compared to the ones you used when building PIL.

if you're using a contemporary Linux version, try using the official 
builds for both Tk and PIL, if possible.

(look for tk and python-imaging or pil in the official package repository)
