I'm sure there was an error message when you tried to start IDLE. I've
lost my crystal ball, so these would be incredibly useful.

Chances are that Tkinter wasn't built. You'll need to have Tk installed
for this, including the header files.

See above, you can also change the paths in Modules/Setup, should that
be necessary. It usually isn't necessary, unless the Tk header files and
libraries are in some very strange places.
