Looking for help getting tkinter to work.

[Shue Boks]

I tried to compile Python and Tcl/Tk on Linux using the following
files:

Python-3.1.1.tar.gz
tcl8.5.7-src.tar.gz

Cannot get tkinter to work after compiling & installing Tcl/Tk.  I get
the following error after compiling Python:

"Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules
were not found:
_tkinter
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for
the module's name."

Are the above files the correct versions to get tkinter to work?

Thanks.
