How did you get tk.h into the Include directory? You shouldn't manually
copy files around; this will surely break your system and installation
procedures if you don't know exactly what you are doing.

What is the location that your Mandriva package installed tk.h to?

tk.h is searched-for in detect_tkinter. Check whether tklib, tcllib,
tcl_includes and tk_includes all get set. This should take only
a single print statement.
