Configuring IDLE on Linux

[Satya Kiran]

Hello,
I have upgraded to Python2.4 on my Red Hat 9.0 Linux box.
I want to work with IDLE and ran a search to check it's presence.
 Here is what I get.

[root at localhost bin]# find / -iname idlelib
/usr/local/lib/python2.4/idlelib

[root at localhost bin]# cd /usr/local/lib/python2.4/idlelib
[root at localhost idlelib]# python PyShell.py
** IDLE can't import Tkinter.  Your Python may not be configured for Tk. **

How do I resolve this and get IDLE working?

thanks in advance,
Kiran Satya
