Strange Tkinter trouble

Hi,

I'm having strange troubles with our new file server's Tkinter installation
and was hoping that anyone that anyone can help me.

I've recompiled Python myself, and have done so several times before -- and 
I'm not sure what I've done wrong. 

Here is the error message I'm getting:

[snip]

>>> from Tkinter import *

__init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className)
TclError: couldn't stat "": no such file or directory

My system is SuSE Linux 6.4 (glib-2.1 based), with Tcl/Tk 8.0.4 (also
self-compiled).

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks in advance,
