the important line is

_imagingtk.c:20:16: tk.h: No such file or directory

which indicates that you don't have complete Tcl/Tk development 
libraries on your machine (but you obviously have enough pieces of
them for PIL to think that you have them).

look for tcl-devel and tk-devel or similar packages in your Linux 
provider's package repository.
