Do you have the tk8.5-devel packages installed?
You may check the DAG and/or the EPEL repository (for centos4) and see
if they have packages for Python3.x.

http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

These are two repositories I always add to my centos installs. (Well almost).

My bet though is that you don't have the -devel packages installed.
