_tkinter fails when installing Python 2.4.4

[jgelfand]

I'm installing Python 2.4.4 on a CentOS release 4.6 (Final) [RedHat
Enterprise Linux 4.6] 64-bit machine. Running "./configure --prefix="/
usr/local/yosi/ciao-4.0/ots" --enable-shared" appears to be fine, but
I get the following error message when I run "make":

Any suggestions / ideas as to what is going wrong?  I don't get any
other warnings or errors on the other modules.  Thanks -- Yosi
