Building Python2.4.1 with idle on HPUX11

I've been trying to build Python 2.4.1 on an HPUX11.  Python builds ok,
but idle has issues.  And what I don't know is how to determine whether
or not Python discovers the tcl/tk libraries (.sl) and headers, or if
there's some other problem.  If someone has thoughts on either how to
invoke 'configure' or how to debug this issue, please let me know.

I'm executing them from an HPUX directory (different for each one) to
isolate the different platform's objects/libraries since I also build
and run from IRIX646 and SunOS5 (both of which work find).

Here's my configure lines:
Tcl8.4.9:
/bin/env SHLIB_LD_FLAGS=-fPIC
/usr/local/openSource/off.the.net/www.tcl.tk/tcl8.4.9/unix/configure 
   --prefix=/usr/local/openSource/architectureIndependent 
   --exec-prefix=/usr/local/openSource/HPUX11; make; make install


Tk8.4.9:
/bin/env SHLIB_LD_FLAGS=-fPIC
/usr/local/openSource/off.the.net/www.tcl.tk/tk8.4.9/unix/configure 
 
--with-tcl=/usr/local/openSource/off.the.net/www.tcl.tk/tcl8.4.9/unix/pl
atforms/HPUX11 
   --prefix=/usr/local/openSource/architectureIndependent 
   --exec-prefix=/usr/local/openSource/HPUX11; make; make install

Python 2.4.1:
./configure 
   --prefix=/lds/tools/openSource/mainline/architectureIndependant 
   --exec-prefix=/lds/tools/openSource/mainline/HPUX11 
   --enable-shared; make; make install

Thanks,
-James
