the setup procedure has determined that your Python has been built with
Tkinter, and that Tcl/Tk libraries and include files seem to be available, but
the compiler cannot find them, for some unknown reason.

have you tried installing the Tcl and Tk development libraries ?  (usually
tcl-devel and tk-devel)

if you have, look for lines similar to the following

    --- using Tcl/Tk libraries at /usr/local
    --- using Tcl/Tk version 8.4

in the output from the setup script, and make sure that you have the Tcl/Tk
libraries and include files at that location (look in the lib and include directories).
