I don't have easy access at the moment to a Setup file, so I can't
be specific, but I can be general... hopefully this helps.
You need (in the Setup file, I believe it's Setup.in, it's described
in either the README or INSTALL documents) to expand the load
path.  In that file is a block where the various directives are
set up for Tkinter (things like -ltk8.2 -ltcl8.2).  One of the options
mentions something about a load path.  That one needs -L /usr/local/lib
in order for things to go.

Again, sorry about the lack of specifics... if you can't parse my
generalities, send me mail and I'll track down the exact info.
