This probably means that you have enough of Tcl/Tk installed for the
installation process to think it's worth building the Tkinter support,
but, as Karsten points out, not enough of it to actually be able to
build that support.  To fix this, either install tcl-dev/tk-dev (or
whatever the packages are called on your machine), or tweak setup.py
to skip that part of the process.
