if you have tcl/tk 8.4, why are you linking against 8.0 ? ;-)

I cannot tell if you're using the setup.py build approach (preferred) or
the older Makefile.pre.in approach; if the former, the above means that
Python's Tkinter module was built against 8.0; if the latter, you have
to edit the Setup.in to match your local configuration:

    $ rm Setup
    $ emacs Setup.in
    (change 8.0 to 8.4, and make sure the path's are correct)
    $ make Makefile.pre.in boot
    $ make
