It is always a good idea to try compiling Python yourself, however I
have RedHat 8 I installed all the 'Development' packages and I have
python 2.2.1 with Tkinter.  There are, according to the new package
management tool 45 'core' development tools (including python and perl)
perhaps this is what you are missing.
