Compiling to include Tkinter/IDLE: HOWTO?

[Kirby Urner]

I downloaded Python 2.2a2 and did a ./configure ./make in Linux 
(Mandrake 8.0 distro).  Errors had to do with not finding X11/X11.h
and therefore not installing _tkinter.  In the /usr/local/lib/python2.2 
directory, I also don't find IDLE (a Tk app).  I'm able to use the
resulting Python in terminal shell mode no prob.

Question:  what do I need to do to on my platform to compile a 
new Python with Tkinter usable, and IDLE as well?  When I install
the RPM from the distro, I get Python 2.0 with working IDLE, and
I'd like to have a similar setup for Python 2.2.
