Tkinter and BLT - any joy?

On a WinNT 4.0p4 system, with Python 1.5.2, Tcl/Tk 8.0.5, and BLT 2.4h installed, I cannot get Tkinter to load BLT.  Here's what I get in IDLE:

Python 1.5.2 (#0, Apr 13 1999, 10:51:12) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> from Tkinter import *
>>> Tk().tk.call('package', 'require', 'BLT')
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in ?
    Tk().tk.call('package', 'require', 'BLT')
TclError: couldn't load file "BLT24.dll": invalid argument
>>> 

I get the same result when not in IDLE, so it's not an IDLE problem.  Using WISH, I get:

% package require BLT
2.4
% 

Anybody seen this problem?  Thanks in advance . . .
