You may want to check that your Tcl/Tk installation is correct. You should 
probably post details about your computing environment, too -- e.g., OS, 
architecture, ....

I had a similar problem on my Debian based AlphaPC that I was able to fix by 
adding the appropriate Tcl/Tk directory into the includes list in setup.py.
