FWIW, this is my experience.

I installed 2.5 on FC6 a few weeks ago, and it has been running with no
problems.

I ran 'make test' now, and this is what I got.

Near the top of the output, I saw the following message -
    INFO: Can't locate Tcl/Tk libs and/or headers

When it got to test_tcl, it showed the following message -
    test_tcl skipped -- No module named _tkinter

At the end, it showed the following -
    284 tests OK.
    35 tests skipped:
        [snip details]
    1 skip unexpected on linux2:
        test_tcl

It ran to the end without stopping.

Hope this may be of some help in diagnosis.
